Atmospheric Circulation. Winds on a Non-Rotating Earth Air at the equator warms and rises. Once aloft, air flows back towards the poles where it cools.

Wind The movement of air.. What causes wind? Caused by: –Heat flow (difference in temperatures) –Pressure differences Cooler air is more dense than warm.

www. metcheck. com/UK/airmass www.metcheck.com/UK/airmass.asp Storm conditions over the UK on 1 Jun 15 are shown through an RGB composite image, which colours the air masses. The difference between the tropical air mass (south west) and the polar air (north of the depression) is clear. The red mixing shows how much turbulence has been generated.

Here, the 700 hPa winds start to show far more of the upper level Rossby wave formation associated with the jet stream. It starts to become clear that this is part of a bigger system, not just an isolated incident or event.
