GEOG 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Intertropical Convergence Zone, Polar Easterlies, Jet Stream
Document Summary
Starting next week labs have to be completed during the time period. There are now lab prep materials on mycourses to look into and look at before each lab. Spelling of key terms on test is important. For questions that say don"t use examples from text you can use ones that don"t have anything to do with physical geography. When talking about heat transfer don"t have to mention the energy budget. Itcz: intertropical convergence zone, the primary low pressure system on our planet, it is thermal in nature. Subtropical highs are found near the tropics of cancer and capricorn, more like cells than the belt of the itcz, in january they sit over the water in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Pressure systems connect in a system that helps redistribute the excess heat energy at the equator towards the poles.
