Understanding the General Circulation of the Atmosphere

Solar Radiation and Earth's Energy Imbalance → Three-Cell Model Overview

This learning path introduces the large-scale patterns of air movement that distribute heat and moisture around the globe. Starting with the basic physics of heating and pressure, it builds up to the three-cell model, jet streams, monsoons, and trade winds. Designed for high school climate science students, the path emphasizes conceptual understanding and connects each component to the overall circulation system.
