There are three circulation cells: the Hadley cell nearest the equator, the Ferrel cell in the mid-latitudes, and the polar cell. There are three prevailing wind belts associated with these cells: the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and the polar easterlies (Fig. 3.10).
19 Οκτ 2024 · Near the Earth’s surface, winds generally flow around regions of relatively low and high pressure—cyclones and anticyclones, respectively. They rotate counterclockwise around lows in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise around those in the Southern Hemisphere. Similarly, wind systems rotate around the centres of highs in the opposite ...
22 Ιαν 2018 · Thermal wind balance. Thermal wind is the first of four main types of atmospheric flow. The most complex type of wind, it drives weather systems across the globe. It’s born from differences in the temperatures between the equator and the poles.
2 Φεβ 2023 · Global winds described with a labeled diagram. What causes wind patterns. Learn about the different global wind belts & how they affect the climate on Earth.
The Beaufort scale has 17 levels of wind force. “0” describes conditions that are so calm that smoke rises vertically. “12” describes a hurricane, and “13-17” are reserved only for tropical typhoons, the most powerful and potentially destructive wind systems.
How winds finally end up blowing the way they do results from a fascinating interplay of different forces, each acting on different length and time scales.
