Mountain torque doesn't really influence weather directly. The exchange of angular momentum between atmosphere and Earth facilitated by mountain and the related frictional torque most directly affects the distribution of (atmospheric) mass around the world, which is manifested as pressure differences. Obviously it is these pressure differences that then influence weather.

You may be looking for a more general answer, at least in terms of a positive vs. negative mountain torque anomaly averaged latitudinally. The data are messy and it's tough to come up with a general rule of thumb for these things, and I can't recall what has been done with it anyway. You can pull up some PDFs just searching on Google, and you might be able to understand them well enough if you're advanced enough to even know about mountain torque.

What direction does air rotate in the center of a high pressure system in the Northern hemisphere?

Good weather is usually associate with a high pressure system, which rotates clockwise in the northern hemisphere. CORRECTION FROM MADDIE:NO! Good weather rotates COUNTER -clockswise!I had other sources! smh.


What is the similarities between a cyclone and an anticyclone?

Both cyclones and anticyclones are areas of atmospheric low pressure, but they differ in the direction of the wind flow. In a cyclone, winds circulate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere, while in an anticyclone, winds circulate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Both systems are associated with specific weather patterns and can influence local weather conditions.


What is a tilted position?

When the Earth tilts towards the Sun, during the northern hemisphere tilt towards summer, the northern hemisphere enjoys warm weather, while the southern hemisphere enters their winter period. Therefore, the tilted position (of the earth) depends on where the tilt is observed, and in which season.


What months are in fall?

The Fall Equinox is the September Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the March Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere. The weather seasons can be roughly decided by the month in which the season starts and the two months following. northern hemisphere - September, October, November (begins Sept 22/23) Southern Hemisphere - March, April, May (begins March 20)

Why is the northern hemisphere's weather more extreme then the Southern Hemisphere's?

It is not more extreme.


What effect does the earth rotation have on the northern and southern hemisphere?

The Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects moving objects (like air masses and ocean currents) to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This leads to the formation of prevailing wind patterns and ocean currents that influence weather and climate in each hemisphere.

Weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere move?

Weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere generally move from west to east due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis, known as the Coriolis effect. This causes prevailing westerly winds to carry weather systems across continents and oceans in that direction. Jet streams, prevailing wind currents high in the atmosphere, also play a significant role in steering weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere.


What is the weather like in the Northern Hemisphere when the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the sun?

When the Northern Hemisphere tilts toward the sun, it experiences summer. This results in warmer temperatures, longer days, and more direct sunlight. Additionally, this tilt can lead to variations in weather patterns, such as increased precipitation or heat waves.


What weather does Ireland have during Christmas?

Ireland is in the northern hemisphere, so it is winter. The weather is cold and might be snowy.

Is November winter?

In many places, November is considered the transition month from autumn to winter. So while it may not technically be winter yet, the weather and temperatures in November can often reflect winter conditions.
