The frontal cloudband is located East of Greenland via the Northwest of Iceland towards the South. A shallow
low pressure systen can be seen E of Greenland (65N30W) The frontal cloudband typically lies within the trough
of the surface isobars.
The Surface low moves Eastward and so does the frontal cloudband. It can be seen that the surface trough lacks the
frontal cloudband.
The surface trough seems to be split into two minor troughs. Most likely this is the effect of the orography
of Iceland.
The surface trough now stretches, which indicates that a new low is developing just southeast of Iceland. Furthermore
the clouds in the original frontalband shows a gradual brightening, especially in the region just northeast of
Iceland.
In the surface isobaric field a low can be detected just southeast of Iceland. The frontal cloudband really starts
to wave now. Notice also that the low is almost stationary, showing almost no displacement.
The deepening proces of the low is clearly going on now. Also in the imagery the appearance of a cyclone becomes
more clearly now.
A further deepening can be observed, the low deepens now to 995 hPa. Notice alo the tight isobar-pattern in the
northern half of the cyclone, causing a very strong flow over the SE-part of Iceland. Notice also that the low is
still almost stationary, showing almost no displacement.
The low is now moving slowly to the south, the surface pressure in the centre of the low is having no significant change
altough the strong flow over the east of Iceland remains.
The low is now retrograding and deepening to about 990 hPa. A mature cyclone can be seen.
The low is now retrograding, the surface pressure in the centre of the low is having no significant change.
A strong flow over the Eastern and Southern-part of Iceland can be seen.
The low is now further moving Westward, the surface pressure in the centre of the low is having no significant change.
Still, a strong flow over the Eastern and Southern-part of Iceland can be seen, which already lasts for 24 hours.
The low is deepening again to values around 985 hPa, however the flow over Iceland starts to weaken because the low
is moving away to the southwest.
The low is now loosing it's compact structure, however the flow at the NW-side is still impressive, especially
because of a large high pressure system building up at the eastside of Greenland.
The cloudstructures near the low are becoming more convective. The pressure in the low shows less change.
Two cores of low pressure can now be detected and the cyclone gradually starts to weaken.
