THE atmospheric angular momentum generated at the earth's surface between latitudes ± ϕ must, over a long period, be balanced by an equivalent outflow of angular momentum across these parallels. It ...

Understanding atmospheric pressure is vital, newsroom meteorologist Justin Ballard said, because those giant H’s and L’s representing high and low air pressure systems on a weather map are meaningless ...
