Characteristics of ferrel cell
What are the characteristics of the polar cell?
The smallest and weakest cells are the Polar cells, which extend from between 60 and 70 degrees north and south, to the poles. Air in these cells sinks over the highest latitudes and flows out towards the lower latitudes at the surface.
What are the characteristics of the Hadley cell?
What type of cell is the Ferrel cell?
What does a Ferrel cell include?
What is the Ferrel cell driven by?
What causes Ferrel cells?
These winds pick up moisture as they travel over the oceans. At around 60 degrees N and 60 degrees S, they meet cold air, which has drifted from the poles. The warmer air from the tropics is lighter than the dense, cold polar air and so it rises as the two air masses meet.
What is a Hadley cell easy explanation?
: a pattern of atmospheric circulation in which warm air rises near the equator, cools as it travels poleward at high altitude, sinks as cold air, and warms as it travels equatorward also : a similar atmospheric circulation pattern on another planet (such as Mars)
