About this document
Weather Patterns and Heat Distribution by kimjim is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes the global patterns of atmospheric circulation that transport heat from the equator to the poles. It discusses three main points: 1) Heat is transported from the tropics to higher latitudes through three main convection cells - the Hadley cell from the equator to 30 degrees latitude, mid-latitude weather patterns from 30 to 60 degrees, and a polar cell from 60 to the poles. 2) Superimposed on the convection cells are horizontal wind patterns called the trade winds in the tropics,
