requested move at Talk:Brown Willy effect

Any more opinions at Talk:Brown Willy effect#Requested_move_9_October_2018 would be welcome. The question is, is it verifiable from reliable sources that a meteorological phenomenon exists by the name of Brown Willy effect? It is also referred to in this article. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 05:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

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 is one comment on the talk page that refers to the Brown Willy Effect. 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 (Brown Willy Effect). 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) 16:57, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
