GEO 211 1st Edition Lecture 22 Outline of Last Lecture I. Air Pressure continuedA. Horizontal Pressure Variations influenced by:- Air temperature- Air moisture- Air (flow) movementB. Forces that influence wind:- Pressure gradient force- Coriolis force- Friction forceC. Pressure Gradient ForceD. Coriolis forcea. How Coriolis force deflects wind E. Friction forceF. Upper level windsOutline of Current Lecture II. Air pressure continuedA. How winds blow on closed isobarsB. Northern hemisphere, wind blow:1. Into low pressure counter clockwise (in spiral)2. From high pressure center clockwise (out spiral)C. Southern hemisphere1. Into low pressure center clockwise (in spiral)2. From high pressure center counter clockwise (out spiral)D. With cyclonesE. With anticyclonesIII. Chapter 10- wind: global systemsA. Global circulation of winds and pressure systems at the surface (figure 10.2)Current LectureThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.II. Air pressure continuedA. How winds blow on closed isobars- Cyclone has low pressure center- Anticyclone has high pressure centerB. Northern hemisphere, wind blow:1. Into low pressure counter clockwise (in spiral)2. From high pressure center clockwise (out spiral)C. Southern hemisphere1. Into low pressure center clockwise (in spiral)2. From high pressure center counter clockwise (out spiral)D. With cyclones- air converge at the low pressure center, rises, and diverge alofE. With anticyclones- air converge alof, sink to high pressure center at the surface, and divergeIII. Chapter 10- wind: global systemsA. Global circulation of winds and pressure systems at the surface (figure
