Okay, so let's do a summary of all the parts
that I've done.
Part one is on what is pressure, and also
we look at vertical pressure, so make sure
you understand that.
The second part is an airplane flight and
how we relay atmospheric pressure to the altimeter.
The third and fourth one are about high and
low pressure, basically you have to know the
characteristics of a high pressure, that's
like sinking air, for example.
And there are two other ones.
What are the causes of the sinking air, and
it turns to the right, and it spreads and
diverges at the surface.
The low is the opposite of that, but it's
worth taking a look at that, because there
are characteristics that are different, that
are the opposite, and some effects if we move
on part five looks at the winds and also you
know, let's see we looked at isobar maps in
that chapter.
For part six we looked at pressure gradient.
Part six and seven is really kind of a dual
one that I split up, that's on the Coriolis
Force and pressure gradient and something
called geostrophic winds.
Make sure you take a look at that.
And then parts eight and nine are in the classroom
taking a look at global pressure belts and
cells and how that distribution works throughout
the world.
Understand what is a thermally induced pressure
cell like the polar highs or the inter tropical
convergence zone at the equator or thereabouts.
And also know what is dynamic, which motion.
For example, the sub polar lows out by the
Aleutian Islands, or the sub tropical highs
also dynamically induced that is.
It is motion driven, and that's what creates
such a great day that we have here in Northern
California.
So that does it for the series on atmospheric
pressure and winds.
