On browsing the group I am often confronted with the terms Short wave and
Long wave, could somebody please explain what these terms mean in
meteorology and what causes them?

many thanks. Len

.... as part of the FAQ series for the newsgroup, I put up this page
which may help -

http://www.booty.org.uk/booty.weathe...nfo/uppair.htm

and if you use the main FAQ page at:-

http://www.booty.org.uk/booty.weather/uswfaqfr.htm

then the 'Search' facility (for such as 'Short wave', 'trough' etc.),
this will throw up some more links within the FAQ & Glossary.

Martin.
