Okay - you asked for it!: Convection: http://www.weatherquestions.com/What_is_convection.htm Vorticity: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorticity ITCZ - intertropical convergence zone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intertropical_Convergence_Zone Scatterometer: A scatterometer is a microwave radar sensor used to measure the reflection or scattering effect produced while scanning the surface of the earth from an aircraft or a satellite. Data derived from ocean scatterometers is vital to scientists in the their studies of air-sea interaction and ocean circulation, and their effects on weather patterns and global climate. These data are also useful in the study of unusual weather phenomena such as El Nino, the long-term effects of deforestation on our rain forests, and changes in the sea-ice masses around the polar regions. |
