Global Atmospheric Circulation
Description
Earth’s diverse climate and weather patterns are predominantly governed by global atmospheric circulation and ocean currents. This program looks at different atmospheric phenomena, including the global circulation model and how heating and cooling is driven by wind, air pressure systems, the effects of differences between land and sea temperatures, and how atmospheric conditions at different latitudes interact and impact meteorological patterns.
