Earth's Dynamic Systems: Atmospheric Circulation
How Air Moves Around the PlanetBy Aira AstralisLength1h 47m
About this audiobook
A tour of the planet-scale wind machine: the trades and the sailors' map, the Coriolis effect, the Hadley cells and the deserts they create, the wave-driven middle latitudes and their storm machinery, the jet streams, monsoons, ENSO's coupled moods, the ocean partnership, the instruments that watch it all, chaos's two-week horizon, and the observed changes in a warming world. No equations, for curious readers.
