Section 1-3
Global Convection and Wind Belts

What We’ll Discuss Today
• Convection Cells and Pressure Belts • Coriolis Effect• Prevailing Winds

Convection Cells
http://www.boqueteweather.com/climate_article.htm
Where is the air…
dry and sinking - high pressure?(look for clear skies)
humid and rising - low pressure ?(look for clouds)
changing latitude as it flows along the surface?
Do You See the Convection Cells?(follow the arrows)

The Coriolis Effect
“Turning of Air Masses because of the Spinning of the Earth”
Paper Plate Demonstration
The Effect on air masses which are changing latitude
Effect on air moving toward the equator
• Turns left
Effect on air moving toward the poles
• Turns Right
NOTE: Because of the Coriolis Effect, winds in large air masses associated with pressure systems rotate...
Clockwise in High Pressure Systems and Counterclockwise in Low Pressure Systems
remember the clock is high and the counter is low

3-D View of Global ConvectionRising Air: low pressure rain band
Sinking Air: high pressure dry
Notice air changing latitudes at surface curves like on our plates

Convection Cells cause upper atmosphere “Jet Streams”
Jet Streams (GREEN AREAS)form where convectioncells meet in the upper atmosphere

1-3 Notes Quiz: Global Pressure and Wind Belts Name: _________________
1. List the latitudes with Global Low Pressure Belts with consistently large amounts of precipitation.
(HINT: look at latitudes North and South - there are three)
2. List the latitudes with Global High Pressure Belts with consistently very little precipitation.
(HINT: there are four)
3. Where and why do jet streams occur?
4. What is the name (and source) for winds moving toward the equator?
5. What is the name (and source) for winds moving toward the poles?
Use the last slide of the presentation to help you complete the sketch on the back of this page
