The Coriolis Effect and Climate Change

The Earth's climate system has many regions, but two distinct different regions are the tropics, roughly the minus 30 to 30 degrees latitude, and the extra tropics outside of 30 degrees plus or minus. They have very different dynamics. The temperature difference between the tropics and the pole is a dynamic phenomenon based on the fact that if you have a temperature difference with latitude, it generates instabilities. All they do is determine the starting point for where the temperature changes in mid-latitudes. That's determined mainly by hydrodynamics.
