Air Movement and Wind Systems

Explore the dynamics of air movement including Polar Easterlies, Prevailing Westerlies, and Trade Winds. Learn about jet streams, land and sea breezes, and measuring tools like wind vanes and anemometers. Dive into the factors influencing local winds, upper troposphere air movement, and how wind impacts weather conditions. Watch informative videos and complete readings to enhance your knowledge. Discover the fascinating world of air movement and its crucial role in shaping our planet's weather patterns.

  2. AIR MOVEMENT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuw8wOhAjOg&feature=related

  3. AIR MOVEMENT Polar easterlies- winds at both poles to 60º - Moves east to west Prevailing Westerlies- winds from 60° to 30° - Moves west to east Trade winds- winds from 30° to the equator- Moves east to west

  6. AIR MOVEMENT AIR MOVEMENT IN THE UPPER TROPOSPHERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itj-x1XhzQo&feature=related

  7. AIR MOVEMENT Jet stream- air movement and rotation of the earth create large circular wind systems- flow east to west http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/jetstream_animation_page.htm

  8. AIR MOVEMENT Read “Factors of Weather: Air Movement in the Upper Troposphere”, pp. 21-22

  9. AIR MOVEMENT LAND & SEA BREEZES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmIVRgaKmsc&feature=fvwrel http://www.accuweather.com/video/77422659001/land-and-sea-breeze.asp?channel=weatherwhys1 http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1903/es1903page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization

  10. AIR MOVEMENT LAND & SEA BREEZES Wind- horizontal movement of air from one place to another http://www.brainpop.com/science/weather/wind/

  11. AIR MOVEMENT LAND & SEA BREEZES Sea breeze- cooler air above water moves in to take the place of warm land air that is rising---blows onto land (DAY) Land Breeze- warmer air rises above water and is replaced by cooling air from above the land---blows onto water (NIGHT)

  12. AIR MOVEMENT Read/Complete “Factors of Weather: Air Movement: Local Winds” pp. 23-25 http://www.classzone.com/books/earth_science/terc/content/visualizations/es1903/es1903page01.cfm

  13. AIR MOVEMENT Wind Vane- an instrument used to measure wind direction WIND VANE/ANEMOMETER Anemometer- an instrument used to measure wind speed
