Objective Reconcile the conflicting evidence of the meridional westerly wind shift during the Last Glacial Maximum LGM indicated by proxyrecords from the atmosphere and ocean Approach. 20 1027200 1048830 1054860 1081860 1126920 1137390 1180200 1192470 1229340 1282710 O7 826440 864840 882600 896730 922290 947580 976770 1005900 1035120 1126920 1204380 O6 612540 672960 717120 717120 719850 750720 754770 754770 797670 873510 918030 O5 Coriolis. Effect. Air pressure differences cause the movement of air. Air moving parallel to the ground is called . wind. Air moving up or down is called a . current. Air generally moves from the poles to the equator, . Chapter 2.2 Guided Notes. What is Weather?. Weather is the condition of Earth’s atmosphere at a particular time and place.. What is Wind. ?. Wind is air moving across the surface of the Earth. It can move horizontally or parallel to the ground.. Shortwave Climate Feedbacks . Jen Kay. University of Colorado at Boulder. Why Southern Ocean.

Atmosphere-Ocean Interactions. I. Local Winds: Sea Breeze. As the surface warms, convection begins. The rising air “pushes” up the isobars, creating a pressure gradient. As air over land expands, a low pressure system forms at the surface and winds blow from ocean to land. . i. What causes wind? . Caused by a difference in air pressure due to. unequal heating of the atmosphere.. Winds are created by. ….. • . Heating the air, decreases pressure (warm. air rises creating a low pressure).

For much of human history, knowledge of the ocean and its currents was not recorded for many reasons - most sailors could not write and information was passed orally..

Describe the causes and effects of heat transfer as it relates to the circulation of ocean currents, atmospheric movement, and global wind patterns (e.g., trade winds and the jet stream).
