Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsThe term ‘Omega Block’ was recently seen in news is related to which of the following climatic events?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Omega Block
- An omega block is an extreme version of a “blocking high”, an area of high pressure which remains stationary for a prolonged period.
- It got its name from the way that the jet stream bends around the high and the lows on either side of it, forming a shape resembling the Greek letter omega – Ω.
- When an omega-shaped wave is present on the jet stream which arcs over Europe, warm dry air from southern Europe and Africa can be pulled north, pushing temperatures higher than normal.
- If this upper level feature coincides with high pressure at the surface with relatively low pressure to the east and west an omega block is formed.
- This pattern of flow can be very persistent and lead to long periods of fine weather in summer.
