Welcome!

Hello, Mmonaghan9, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Article evaluation

Hi there, I'm a student that is assigned to improve and evaluate this article. It is my goal to find more information and inform the public on this topic. There aren't any comments on the talk page yet. This is what I've noticed about the article:

Currently, the article has little information, with the majority of it heavily relying on one source, "Meteorology Basics: Convergence and Divergence." Although this source seems to be reliable, more references will be added as updated information is incorporated into the article. It fails to provide noteworthy examples of convergence zones. These examples could be crucial for the readers' understanding, especially if they are unfamiliar with the topic. Weather disturbances are barely mentioned, yet they are often the result of the convergence of two winds. Tornadoes, storms, and other disturbances should be explained under a new subheading, "Resulting Weather Disturbances." There are two subsections on this page, one of which ("Large-Scale") has hardly any examples of large-scale impacts. The Intertropical Convergence Zone is the only large-scale convergence zone mentioned. The "Mesoscale" subsection focuses on small-scale winds, providing examples of convergence zones, yet omitting events that occurred relating to these zones. It is mentioned that sea fronts are related to convergence zones without an explanation to support this. On another note, the author clearly presented the information, delivering it in a formal, unbiased manner.Mmonaghan9 (talk) 21:33, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
