GEOL 1304 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Mesothermal, Tropics, Polar Climate
Document Summary
Semitropics prohibitionist sinking air hadley cellular phone produce a zone of high pressure. Wet climate on the windward slope dry climate on the lee side side. Mesothermal climates: humid subtropical hot-summer climates: moist year-round summer = convection wintertime = facade lifting. Climate refers to the average weather 8 senses of condition over a long period of time . Avail to determine global distribution of ecosystems (biome ). Meso: mediterranean (prohibitionist summer) climates: dry summers = expansion of subtropical high ct conditions from sahara = expand over europe. Subarctic climate: north america most if alaska and canada (boreal wood ) eurasia northern european union , most of russian (taiga) Mesothermal climates :mid-line of latitude mild winter climates. Warm and temperate true seasonality neighborhood dominated bychanging air masses (mt, cp)mid- latitude wave cycloneswest slide /east coast differences. Similar to tropical rainforest, but have a dry time of year at least 1 month = dry when itcz is not overhead along coastal domain.
