= Col (meteorology)
{wiki=Col_(meteorology)}
In meteorology, a "col" refers to a low point or a saddle in the atmospheric pressure field, often found between two high-pressure areas (anticyclones). It is characterized by relatively calm winds and can be associated with dry or fair weather, as the air is typically descending and stabilizing in these regions. Col areas can play a significant role in weather patterns, particularly in influencing the movement of weather systems.
