PPT-Atmospheric General Circulation

and Climate Chap 6 Atmospheric General Circulation Also Global or planetary circulation The general circulation GC of the atmosphere is the totality of motions that characterize the large scale. 52 0206 Circulation of Materials Designated as Reference and General Collection Non Circulating Policy Reference materials by their nature are commonly used to retrieve relatively short specific pieces of information rather than to be read cover to Susan Howard.
