TeachMeFinance.com - explain Closed Low Closed Low The term 'Closed Low' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A low pressure area with a distinct center of cyclonic circulation which can be completely encircled by one or more isobars or height contour lines. The term usually is used to distinguish a low pressure area aloft from a low-pressure trough. Closed lows aloft typically are partially or completely detached from the main westerly current, and thus move relatively slowly (see Cutoff Low)'.
