Global atmospheric patterns
From GeoClasses
- build the global atmospheric wind patterns from the beginning
- hot air rises, cold air sinks: why is there a difference with latitude?
- Earth spins: coriolis
- Hadley cells: names of winds, ITCZ
- then look at the first half of Global atmospheric circulation
- contains an animation of coriolis
- why do the bands and the ITCZ change with the seasons? Go back to the axial tilt of the Earth
