Difference between Atmospheric circulation and Polar easterlies

Atmospheric circulation vs. Polar easterlies

Atmospheric circulation is the large-scale movement of air, and together with ocean circulation is the means by which thermal energy is redistributed on the surface of the Earth. The polar easterlies (also Polar Hadley cells) are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and South Poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.

Similarities between Atmospheric circulation and Polar easterlies

Atmospheric circulation and Polar easterlies have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Coriolis force, Equator, Westerlies.

Coriolis force

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Westerlies

The westerlies, anti-trades, or prevailing westerlies, are prevailing winds from the west toward the east in the middle latitudes between 30 and 60 degrees latitude.

Atmospheric circulation and Polar easterlies Comparison

Atmospheric circulation has 54 relations, while Polar easterlies has 11. As they have in common 3, the Jaccard index is 4.62% = 3 / (54 + 11).
