Ino,
"TomK If you think of the atmosphere as a fluid, you’ll realize that it’s all a balancing act. Occasionally things get out of whack but it has always amazed me how related the Domes ( Highs ) and rising air features (Low) are.[...]"
The problem for me is that I'm more than familiar with fluid dynamics (magnetohydrodynamics comes to mind, and shocks - it's an essential part of understanding space!) but I just never thought of things in term of domes. That's probably because I'm not thinking of things on the surface of a planet. [

Thank you!
