Extra-tropical weather systems

Tropical weather

There are two reasons why tropical weather is different from that at higher latitudes. The sun shines more directly on the tropics than on higher latitudes (at least in the average over a year). This makes the tropics warm. And, the vertical direction (up, as one stands on the earth’s surface) is perpendicular to the earth’s axis of rotation at the equator, while the two are the same at the pol...

Is Really Weather or Tropical Conditions Affects an Outbreak of COVID-19: A Brief Report

Corona viruses are large group of viruses that can cause sickness ranging from normal flu to severe respiratory diseases. The new novel corona virus (nCOV-19) or COVID-19 is a new kind of pandemic virus that did not identified before in humans. Global nations have heightened their surveillance in the quick diagnosis of potential cases across the COVID-19. After it had originated in China more c...

Mars’ Southern Hemisphere: Influences of the Great Impact Basins on Extra- Tropical Weather and the Water Cycle

Introduction: Large-scale, extratropical weather disturbances (i.e., highand low-pressure systems or “transient synoptic-period baroclinic/barotropic waves”) are critical components of the global (i.e., general) circulation of a rapidly rotating, differentially heated, shallow atmosphere such as on Earth and Mars. Critically, these wave-like disturbances act as agents for the transport of heat ...
