How do you connect the polar cell and the Ferrell cell?
The Ferrell cell sits between the polar cell and Hadley cell. It is fueled by atmospheric circulation patterns that transport air between the two cells. Air moves poleward from the Hadley cell and equatorward from the polar cell, interacting within the Ferrell cell to form a complex system of atmospheric circulation.
Is a warm front mass of warm air that moves into a region that has cooler air?
Jump to: navigation, searchApproaching weather fronts are often visible from the ground, but are not always as well defined as thisA weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena. In surface weather analyses, fronts are depicted using various colored lines and symbols, depending on the type of front. The air masses separated by a front usually differ in temperature and humidity. Cold fronts may feature narrow bands of thunderstorms and severe weather, and may on occasion be preceded by squall lines or dry lines. Warm fronts are usually preceded by stratiform precipitation and fog. The weather usually clears quickly after a front's passage. Some fronts produce no precipitation and little cloudiness, although there is invariably a wind shift.[1]Cold fronts and occluded fronts generally move from west to east, while warm fronts move poleward. Because of the greater density of air in their wake, cold fronts and cold occlusions move faster than warm fronts and warm occlusions. Mountains and warm bodies of water can slow the movement of fronts.[2] When a front becomes stationary, and the density contrast across the frontal boundary vanishes, the front can degenerate into a line which separates regions of differing wind velocity, known as a shearline. This is most common over the open ocean.hope it helps!!!!
Why does storms change its direction?
It's all to do with atmospheric conditions, air temperature and ocean temperatures, as well as locality. The first condition that needs to be present is a low pressure system. Cyclones are caused by warm tropical moisture bearing clouds developing in open oceans or seas. Cyclones can only form over warm waters in the tropical regions of the oceans where the sea temperatures are 26.5 degrees Celsius or higher. They occur in areas of very low pressure when air that is heated by the sun rises rapidly, and becomes saturated with moisture which then condenses into high thunderclouds. As the atmosphere becomes favorable for development (no wind shearing in the higher parts of the atmosphere), normal thunderstorms clump together. When the hot air rises, cooler air rushes in to fill the area left vacant by the hot air. The Coriolis effect of the Earth spinning on its axis causes the air to spiral upwards with considerable force. This in turn causes the winds to rotate faster, causing the tropical low to deepen in intensity into a tropical depression, and eventually a cyclone which is anywhere between hundreds of kilometres to thousands of kilometres wide.
Do isotherms bend poleward or equatorward over the continents in the summer?
Poleward
What temperature is a poleward moving current?
A Cow Current
A poleward-moving ocean is?
warm. check it out here: http://www.geography.hunter.cuny.edu/~tbw/wc.notes/3.temperature/ocean_currents.htm
What is the difference between a poleward moving current and a equatorward moving ocean current?
The interaction between the oceans surface and the circulation of the lower atmosphere is the primary cause of the surface currents in the oceans. A current generally refers to the horizontal movement of water. The direction, speed, and the temperature of the water masses moved by the ocean currents play an important role in climatology by transporting heat energy. Currents may be small-scale, transient features, resulting from seasonal or local effects or large-scale, permanent features, covering vast portions of the oceans, resulting from atmospheric circulation patterns

What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
What is poleward?
Poleward, or polewards means moving towards the North or South Pole. "We whistled up the huskies and the dog sleds moved polewards." "The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the further poleward one goes." POLEWARD is also the name for an experiment where 118 "surface drifters" were sent out on the Norwegian Atlantic Current to take temperatures of the water as they moved along.
What is poleward heat transport?
Poleward heat transport is described as the meridional flow of latent heat and sensible heat from tropical to middle and high latitudes in response to latitudinal imbalances in radiational heating and cooling. It is caused by air mass exchanges, storms, and ocean circulation.
In the Arctic or Antarctic the land is poleward and the ocean is towards the equator?
Antarctic
Is Poleward-moving ocean current is considered a warm current?
yes it is a warm current
Does the intertropical convergence lies along the subtropical jet stream?
The subtropical jet lies just poleward of the ITCZ.
When strong solar winds are directed poleward what do you see at night?
When strong solar winds are directed poleward, you may see increased auroral activity at night near the poles. This can result in vibrant displays of the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) in the Northern Hemisphere or the Southern Lights (aurora australis) in the Southern Hemisphere.
