Vorticity Absolute Vorticity: planetary vorticity + relative vorticity. Since relative vorticity is usually smaller than planetary vorticity and planetary vorticity is always positive in the Northern Hemisphere, absolute vorticity is almost always positive. This is the final installment in our vorticity definition series. This is what is plotted by the dashed lines on the upper left panel of the model data. They are highlighted in red in Figure 6.
