| Abstract: | The processes by which the movements at the surface of the earth due to its rotation around the polar
axis can influence the atmosphere above are considered in detail. It emerges that the fast-moving areas
in the equatorial belt on the surface of the earth play a highly important role in determining the
behaviour of the atmosphere. The jet-stream in the sub-tropical regions, the westerly zonal winds in
the region of middle latitudes and the easterly surface-winds in the equatorial belt are explained on this
basisand shown to stand in close relationship with each other. The winds observed in the polar belt are
also discussed and explained. |
