Variations in pressure lead to the development of winds, which in turn influence our daily weather. The purpose of this module is to introduce pressure, how it changes with height and the importance of high and low pressure systems. In addition, this module introduces the pressure gradient and Coriolis forces and their role in generating wind. Local wind systems such as land breezes and sea breezes will also be introduced Energy pdboyer Mon, 25 Apr 2011 16:44:14 GMT http://climate.jpl.nasa.gov/SeaLevelViewer/seaLevelViewer.cfm Use of satellite ocean height data to understand Hurricane Katrina, La Nina, El Nino. Taller regions may be warmer regions. This also has implications for global warming/climate change forecasting.
