Zonal flow is a meteorological term meaning that the general flow pattern is west to east, or east to west, along the Earth's latitude lines (as opposed to meridional flow). Extratropical cyclones in this environment tend to be weaker, moving faster and producing relatively little impact on local weather.
Famous quotes containing the word flow:
“But even suppose blood should flow. Is there not a sort of blood shed when the conscience is wounded? Through this wound a man’s real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds to an everlasting death. I see this blood flowing now.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
