Exploring Atmospheric Circulation

This chapter examines the intricate workings of atmospheric circulation, focusing on the rise and fall of warm air and the formation of various convection cells, including Hadley, Ferrel, and polar cells. It discusses the effect of the Coriolis effect on wind patterns, as well as the formation and significance of jet streams, particularly their impact on aviation. Additionally, the chapter delves into how geographical features influence wind patterns and local climates, highlighting the differences between coastal and inland areas.
