What else can I help you with?
What part of the sun sends out solar winds?
Solar winds are sent out from the upper atmosphere of the sun.
Does the planet Venus have high winds?
Yes, in the upper atmosphere high winds have been observed.
What is the name of the winds that push weather west to east across the us found in the upper atmosphere?
It is called the TRADE WINDS.
How do jet streams differ from wind in the lower atmosphere?
JET Streams.The winds of the upper troposphere are quite different from the winds in the lower troposphere.They are stronger and blow in a different direction, mostly out of the west
What layer of the atmosphere has strong steady winds?
The stratosphere is the layer of the atmosphere that contains the strong and steady winds known as the jet stream. This wind flow occurs at upper levels of the troposphere and lower levels of the stratosphere, with speeds reaching up to 200 mph.
Is Venus windy?
Yes, Venus is known for its extremely strong winds. The planet has an atmosphere that rotates much faster than its surface, creating hurricane-force winds that can reach speeds of up to 224 miles per hour (360 kilometers per hour).
What has the author E S Batten written?
E. S. Batten has written: 'Tidal oscillations in the thermosphere and their implications for upper atmosphere density models' -- subject(s): Atmospheric tides, Thermosphere, Upper Atmosphere 'Tidal winds in the lower ionosphere' -- subject(s): Atmospheric tides 'A comparison of tidal theory with lower thermospheric wind observations' -- subject(s): Thermospheric winds, Tides, Winds aloft
What conditions in the atmosphere can be measured?
atmosphere can be measured in barometers.
Why do clouds move fast sometimes?
Clouds move fast sometimes due to strong winds in the upper atmosphere. These winds can push the clouds along quickly, causing them to move rapidly across the sky.
Distinguish between surface winds and upper atmosphere winds?
Surface winds blow along the surface of the earth.Sometimes they blow in the same direction all year around .Sometimes they blow mainly in one direction for other part of the year.For e.g the monsoons in the sub-continent. In other places the winds are likely to blow in different direction from day to day.Winds speeds can vary from very slow to 100 km pr/hr. Upper atmosphere winds blow at about 10,000 meters above the surface of the earth. They are caused by the rotation of the earth and blow steadily in the same direction all year round.They can reach up to speed 350 km to 450 km/hr.They are referred to as the jet stream.
In what ways do surface winds differ from upper air winds and how do these differences impact weather patterns?
Surface winds and upper air winds differ in their speed, direction, and altitude. Surface winds are influenced by friction with the Earth's surface and tend to be slower and more variable in direction. Upper air winds, on the other hand, are faster, more consistent in direction, and are influenced by factors such as temperature gradients and pressure systems. These differences in wind patterns impact weather by affecting the movement of air masses, the formation of weather systems, and the distribution of heat and moisture in the atmosphere.
Why do upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west?
Upper-level winds in the middle-latitudes blow from the west due to the combination of the Coriolis effect and pressure gradients. The Coriolis effect causes winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, which, combined with pressure gradients created by the temperature difference between the equator and poles, results in westerly winds at the upper levels of the atmosphere.
