Baroclinic Zone
A region in which a temperature gradient exists on a constant pressure surface. Baroclinic zones are favored areas for strengthening and weakening systems; barotropic systems , on the other hand, do not exhibit significant changes in intensity. Also, wind shear is characteristic of a baroclinic zone.
