weather patterns affect local weather?
Part 1
![Page 2: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Weather, which varies from day to day and seasonally throughout the
year, is the condition of the atmosphere at a given place and
time.
![Page 3: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Climate is not day to day but weather collected over 1 year or many years. It is the range of a
certain region’s weather.
![Page 4: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Climate depends on latitude and geography, so it varies from place to place.
![Page 5: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Weather and climate are shaped by complex interactions involving
sunlight, the ocean, the atmosphere, ice, landforms, and living things.
![Page 6: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
These interactions can drive changes that occur over multiple
time scales—from days, weeks, and months for weather to years, decades,
centuries, and beyond for climate.
![Page 7: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The ocean exerts a major
influence on
weather and
climate.
![Page 8: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The ocean absorbs and stores large amounts of energy from the
sun and releases it very slowly.
![Page 9: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The ocean moderates and stabilizes global climates.
![Page 10: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Energy isredistributed globally through water currents (such as the Gulf Stream)
and also through air currents(such as the jet stream).
![Page 11: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Because ocean currents circulate water of different temperatures all over the globe, they often have a significant impact on the world’s climate and weather patterns.
![Page 12: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Gulf Stream is a major water current in the Atlantic Ocean.
![Page 13: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Gulf Stream is a warm water surface current in the Atlantic
ocean that moves from south of Florida up the eastern seaboard,
and then across the Atlantic.
![Page 14: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Gulf Stream is one of the most important currents in this regard, since it gathers all of its
water from the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean and the
Gulf of Mexico.
![Page 15: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
As such, it keeps sea surface temperatures warm, causing the areas around it to be warm and more hospitable. Florida and
much of the Southeastern United States, for instance, is mild all
year round.
![Page 16: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The warm waters from the Gulf Stream warms the winds, which
then affect the weather on land.
![Page 17: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The greatest impact the Gulf Stream has is on the climate found
in Europe.
![Page 18: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
After it crosses the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf stream splits into two
parts.
![Page 19: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
One part heads north. We call this the North Atlantic Drift. The 2nd part circulates down to West
Africa.
![Page 20: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Since it flows into the North Atlantic Drift, it too is warmed and it is
believed that it helps keep places like Ireland and England much
warmer than they would otherwise be at such a high latitude.
![Page 21: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Gulf Stream moderates weather along the eastern
seaboard, warming the air and land there during the cooler
months.
![Page 22: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
As well as keeping many places mild, the Gulf Stream’s warm sea surface temperatures also aid in the formation and strengthening of many of the hurricanes that
move through the Gulf of Mexico.
![Page 23: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Let’s watch a video to learn more about the gulf stream.

![Page 24: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Gulf Stream was a big interest to sailors. They noticed how much faster sailing vessels could cross
the Atlantic Ocean from the United States to Europe than sailing
vessels crossing from Europe to the United States.
That is thanks to the Gulf Stream.
![Page 25: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
We know energy isredistributed globally through water currents (such as the Gulf Stream). It
is also redistributed through air currents(such as the jet stream).
![Page 26: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Jet streams are fast moving ribbons of air high up in the atmosphere. They have a
powerful influence on the weather conditions.
![Page 27: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
They are responsible for moving high and low air pressure systems.
![Page 28: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
They affect precipitation and temperatures. With the polar jet stream which crosses over the
United States, colder air masses stay north of the jet stream.
![Page 29: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Warmer air masses stay south of the jet stream. The jet stream
separates the two.
![Page 30: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The jet stream flows from the west to the east and changes location depending on global conditions.
![Page 31: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Let’s watch a video to learn more about jet streams.
![Page 32: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Here is another video about jet streams.
![Page 33: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The location of the jet stream is extremely important for air travel.
Not only does it cut time off a flight, it also creates fuel savings
for the airline industry.
![Page 34: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Within North America, the time needed to fly east across the continent can be decreased by
about 30 minutes if an airplane can fly with the jet stream, or increased by more than that amount if it must
fly west against it.
![Page 35: Lesson 25 How do global weather patterns affect local weather? Part 1.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649e545503460f94b4a264/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
