What is global circulation? | Part One | Differential heating

The climate we experience and the location of the world’s deserts and rainforests are controlled by how air moves around the globe, a process known as Global Circulation.


What is global circulation? | Part Two | The three cells

Global circulation on our rotating Earth splits the atmosphere into three cells in each hemisphere: the Hadley cell, Ferrel cell and Polar cell. In this video, we look at how air moves around each cell and how this controls the location of the world’s deserts and rainforests.


What is global circulation? | Part Three | The Coriolis effect & winds

In this third, and final, video in the Global Circulation series we look at how the rotation of the Earth influences our winds through the Coriolis effect and gives us jet streams and prevailing wind patterns.
