A predictive understanding of atmospheric water transport must include atmospheric circulation, winds, and the factors that determine them.
Characterization of the meridional circulation requires wind measurements at all local times.
Also, the vertical circulation of wind flow caused by the fire plume is well observed over the city.
Water exchange between the Ría and the adjacent shelf was mainly controlled by the upwelling/downwelling cycle, and tidal (both semidiurnal and spring–neap) variability appeared as a modulation of the response of the Ría circulation to wind variability.
A multiscale algorithm is proposed for simulations of the spatially-extended dynamics of Langmuir circulation, a wind- and surface-wave-driven convective flow that dominates vertical transport and mixing on the scale of the O(100 -m deep ocean surface boundary layer.
The system gradually organized, developing a weak circulation after wind shear steadily decreased.
"The trade off is that you also make it a little bit harder for some of those up-down motions to occur," he said, referring to the circulation of wind inside a storm cloud.
The movement of buoyant, surface-drifting seaweed rafts is constrained by near-shore circulation patterns, wind, coastline morphology, tidal currents and river plumes, although the prevailing shelf/slope circulation patterns also play a role in offshore transport.
Air pollution concentrations are the result of interactions among local weather patterns, atmospheric circulation features, wind, topography, human activities (i.e., transport and coal-fired electricity generation), human responses to weather changes (i.e., the onset of cold or warm spells may increase heating and cooling needs and therefore energy needs), and other factors.
This anticyclone (circulation of winds around a central region of high atmospheric pressure) leads to southeast trade winds on its north side, since the rotation of wind around the high-pressure area is opposite to that in the Northern Hemisphere because of the Coriolis force (the effect caused by Earth's rotation).
