Meteorology

[Sidious]

Okay, Im trying to sum all this up...

We have a mass reduction overlying the equator due to raising the pressure levels above and causing air to flow from the equator to the poles in a high to low fashion thus piling mass at the poles and reducing it at the equator (low pressure)

We also then have convergence which creates a lower pressure as the air is lifted. Coriolis and convergence can explain the circulation and presence of the doldrums.

Just another quick question while Im here... Why, as the earth speeds up do we have the development of the three cell theory? Is that just a function of how quickly the earth moves verses the effect of Coriolis and the energy of the airflow it is affecting? Thanks
