lowest pressures

the pressures mentioned are much higher than those that occur near iceland, e.g. 916 mb. scotland has recorded 928mb, this article is n.am. biased! any view of s.pacific pressures will show much lower pressures in the southern ocean than these irrelevant USA readings. You don't have the tallest mountains above the seabed (hawaii, no! Bougainville), nor the deepest canyons (snake river). get over it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.103.67 (talk) 20:56, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Provide a reference to a lower pressure from an extratropical cyclone near Ireland, Greece, southern Chile or Argentina, and we'll replace the example from the United States. U.S. information is more readily accessible than elsewhere as it lies within the public domain, unlike weather information for most other countries. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:32, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Copy Edit donations from Severe weather

Sometimes called "mid-latitude cyclones" or "wave cyclones", are a group of cyclones defined as synoptic scale low pressure weather systems that occur in the middle latitudes of the Earth (outside the tropics) having neither tropical nor polar characteristics, and are connected with fronts and horizontal gradients in temperature and dew point otherwise known as "baroclinic zones".^[1]

This information was trimmed from Severe weather during CE. It may be of use in your article. Bullock ✉ 21:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jet streak?

Don't know that much about weather, but are references in this article to jet streak actually supposed to be referring to jet stream? 142.103.207.10 (talk) 00:30, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Read that section of the article and you'll see that a jet streak is a wind maximum within the jet stream. Thegreatdr (talk) 21:50, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Add a picture

Should This Picture of an extratropical transition be in the article? This shows the transition of Hurricane Igor.or is this too big? I personally thing this is a good example of extratropical Transition.Please don't block me for putting this picture on the talk page 76.124.224.179 (talk) 19:08, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
