WIND AND WEATHER
![Page 2: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Air in motion is called
wind. Winds blow because
they are attempting to
achieve a balance in
atmospheric pressure
caused by the unequal
heating of the Earth’s
surface.
![Page 3: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Air in natural motion, as that moving
horizontally at any velocity along the
Earth’s surface
Wind
![Page 4: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Winds blow from high-pressure
to low-pressure areas.
![Page 5: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The strength of winds depends on the
distance of the high from the low and
the difference in pressure (gradient)
between the two areas.
![Page 6: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The rate of change with respect to
distance of a variable quantity, as
temperature or pressure, in the
direction of maximum change

There is a continual flow of wind over the
face of the Earth as the result of uneven
heating. These winds are called trade
winds, prevailing westerlies, and polar
easterlies.

Any of the nearly constant easterly
winds that dominate most of the
tropics and subtropics throughout
the world, blowing mainly from the
northeast in the Northern
Hemisphere, and from the southeast
in the Southern Hemisphere
Trade Winds
![Page 9: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Any semipermanent belt of westerly
winds, especially those that prevail
at latitudes lying between the tropical
and polar regions of the Earth
Prevailing Westerlies
![Page 10: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Two motions of the Earth affect the
weather:
• Movement of the Earth around the Sun
• Rotation of the Earth on its axis
![Page 14: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Earth’s rotation:
• Causes night and day, with consequent
heating and cooling of the atmosphere
• Produces the major wind belts
![Page 15: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
If the Earth did not rotate, the warmer
air over the equator would rise and
move north and south toward the poles,
high above the Earth’s surface. The air
would cool as it moved toward the poles,
cool and move back toward the equator.
![Page 16: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In the Northern Hemisphere winds curve
to the right and in the Southern
Hemisphere toward the left.
This is called the Coriolis Effect.
![Page 17: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The apparent deflection of a body
in motion with respect to the Earth,
as seen by an observer on Earth,
attributed to a fictional force but
actually caused by the rotation of
the Earth and appearing as a
deflection to the right in the Northern
Hemisphere and a deflection to the
left in the Southern Hemisphere
Coriolis Effect
![Page 18: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Air rises at the equator and moves
northward at high latitudes. It
eventually sinks and accumulates near
the surface, forming a high-pressure
area at 30 °N and 30 °S latitude, called
the Horse Latitudes.
23.5° N
23.5° S
![Page 19: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The latitudes, approximately 30 °N
and 30 °S, forming the edges of the
trade wind sector, characterized by
high atmospheric pressure with
calm and light variable winds
Horse Latitudes
![Page 20: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Air always flows outward from the
center of a high-pressure area; this
is called divergence.
![Page 21: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Air always flows in toward the center
of a low-pressure area; this is called
convergence.
![Page 23: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

When both high-pressure and low-
pressure areas are present, air flows
from the high-pressure to the low-
pressure area, creating wind.
![Page 25: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

to curve to the right in the Northern
Hemisphere and to the left in the
Southern Hemisphere?
a. The Coriolis effect
b. The Borealis effect
c. The Trade Winds
d. The Stasis effect
![Page 26: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

The equatorial belt of light and variable
converging winds is called the doldrums.
![Page 28: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
A belt of calm and baffling winds
north of the equator between the
northern and southern trade winds
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
Doldrums
![Page 29: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
In the doldrums:
• Temperatures
are high
• Excessive
precipitation
occurs
• Days go by
without a
breath of wind
• Severe tropical
storms begin here
![Page 30: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
At the surface and on the pole-ward sides
of the doldrums are the bands of easterly
winds called the trade winds. The
northeast trades were a popular route for
sailing vessels and aircraft traveling west.
![Page 31: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The subtropical high-pressure belt is
called the Horse Latitudes. These areas
generally have fair weather and tend to
be cloudless and calm, with weak,
undependable winds.
![Page 32: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Prevailing westerlies are found on the
pole-ward side of the subtropical highs
and are created by the diverging winds
of these highs. They provide most of
the airflow over the U.S.
![Page 33: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
60°
60°
The belt of low pressure known as the
polar front zone lies in the area of 60 °N
and 60 °S latitudes. These areas are
known for their bad weather.
![Page 34: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The polar easterlies are zones of poorly
developed surface winds created by
outflow from the high pressure at the
poles.
![Page 35: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

The topography of the land and the
current of the seas affect winds.
![Page 46: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Three-fourths of the Earth’s surface
is water, and three-fourths of the land
surfaces are in the Northern Hemisphere.
![Page 47: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
In summer the land surfaces heat rapidly
and the water areas heat more slowly.
![Page 48: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
In winter, the land cools rapidly and the
water cools slowly.
![Page 49: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
The daily variation temperature over
open water is seldom more than 2° or
3°, but 300 miles inland, it can vary
15° or more.
![Page 50: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
The difference between the land and sea
temperatures cause the pressure belts of the
of the primary wind circulation to be broken
up into enclosed high- and low-pressure
areas, called centers of action.
![Page 51: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
North-south winds are caused by the
unequal heating of the Earth between the
equator and the poles.
a. TRUE
b. FALSE
![Page 52: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
North-south winds are caused by the
unequal heating of the Earth between the

In the Northern Hemisphere, air flows
clockwise around high-pressure centers
of action (anticyclones). Generally, fair
weather prevails.
![Page 54: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
A circulation of winds around a
central region of high atmospheric
pressure, clockwise in the Northern
Hemisphere, counter clockwise in
the Southern Hemisphere
Anticyclones
![Page 55: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Local high-pressure areas develop anyplace
where air cools, compresses, and subsides.
When a high develops, the clockwise
anticyclonic spiral of air develops, and air
begins flowing to surrounding lower-pressure
areas.
![Page 56: NS2 3.3 Wind and Weather](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012910/555b6b76d8b42a66338b53eb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
