There is another weather term that uses the word "disturbance" that is often found in weather discussions. This term is "an upper level disturbance". It is used often to indicate the development of a shortwave that may not yet be detected by the computer, not initialized by the latest model run available, or forecasted to develop by the models. Therefore it is not plotted as a speed max, vort max, or even a kink in the upper level isobars. But this disturbance is clearly showing up on the satellite picture as a wisp of high level clouds moving along and faster than the speed of the upper level jet. Behind this wisp of cloud, there may be sudden darkening of the water vapor imagery. Just ahead of this feature, you may see rapid developing cu field or enhancement of convection on radar. We also use this term in replacement for the term "vort lobe" (energy spinning around an upper low), which the public would find more easier to accept.

"Disturbance" is not a scientific term and is not used by meteorologists except by those perhaps on TV. What they are generally referring to are cyclonic storms - low pressure waves that form along cold fronts and bring cloudiness and precipitation, or a large area of convective cloudiness in the tropics which is beginning to become organized into a tropical depression. These are the so-called weather disturbances.
