GENERAL GLOBAL
CIRCULATION



CLIM2614
Theme 4




General Circulation of the
Atmosphere
• Average air flow
around the world
• Underlying cause is
the unequal heating of
the earth’s surface
• Transports warm air
from the equator
towards the higher
latitudes
• Gives rise to Earth's
climatic zones

, Single-Cell Model
Assumptions:
• The earth’s surface
is uniformly
covered with water
• The sun is always
directly over the
equator
• The earth does not
rotate




Single-Cell Model
 The observed global pressure and wind patterns
do not fit this single-cell model
 Such a simple cellular circulation does not
actually exist
 The problem lies in the underlying assumptions
