Tri-Cellular Meridional Circulation of the Atmosphere | Climatology | Geography

In this article we will discuss about the definition and cells of tri-cellular meridional circulation. Definition of Tri-Cellular Meridional Circulation: According to the old concept of the mechanism of general circulation of the atmosphere the movement of air is temperature dependent. In other words, tem­perature gradient causes air circulation on the earth's surface. According to the advocates of thermal school [...]

Seasonal Shifting of Wind Belts | Climatology | Geography

In this article we will discuss about the seasonal changes in the relative positions of the pressure and wind belts. In the absence of the revolution of the earth around the sun in about 365 days the global pressure belts would have been permanent and stationary at their places but the relative position of the earth with the sun changes [...]

Walkar Circulation and ENSO | Atmospheric Circulation | Geography

In this article we will discuss about the concept of Walker circulation and El Nino southern oscillation (ENSO). Certain variations are found from the atmos­pheric general circulation patterns e.g., surface trades, westerlies and polar winds circulation and tricellular meridional circulation. Circulation of local and sea­sonal (monsoon) winds may be cited example of such deviations. East-west zonal circulation of tropical winds [...]
