Definition Of:

Vertically-stacked System

Weather DictionaryWeather Dictionary
- A low-pressure system, usually a closed low or cutoff low , which is not tilted with height, i.e., located similarly at all levels of the atmosphere. Such systems typically are weakening and are slow-moving, and are less likely to produce severe weather than tilted systems. However, cold pools aloft associated with vertically-stacked systems may enhance instability enough to produce severe weather.
