ID: denver-convergence-vorticity-zone

The Denver Convergence Vorticity Zone (DCVZ) is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs in the vicinity of Denver, Colorado, particularly during the winter months. It is characterized by the convergence of airflow due to the specific topography of the region, which includes the nearby Rocky Mountains. This convergence creates upward motion in the atmosphere, leading to the development of clouds and precipitation.
