MetLink - An Introduction to Atmospheric Circulation

The Royal Meteorological Society’s Head of Education, Dr. Sylvia Knight, gives a broad introduction to the Earth’s atmospheric circulation, including the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), Polar, Ferrel and Hadley cells, pressure belts, clouds, and the Coriolis Effect.

An excellent explanation and demonstration. Very many thanks for a very interesting and informative video. Brilliantly explained, and more than likely I will watch it over and over so it sinks thoroughly. Very many thanks indeed.😊

Love the way that was explained, thanks! Greetings from a soon to be geography teacher from Germany!

[@Sigma.Infinity]

Fascinating, thank you! This is the type of info I was looking for, the core nuts and bolts of what drives the weather system. Without this basis the details (such as sudden stratospheric warming) can never be completely understood.

[@gedlangosz1127]

Nice video. It really explained the air circulation systems very well. It also showed the two home experiments that I've been doing as part of the FL weather courses. Thank you Sylvia.

Thank you - this is really brilliant, it's so well explained. There were loads of things that have confused me in the past but they are all made clear here!

[@SteveDondley]

This was great. It's taken the disconnected ideas I've learned in dribs and drabs over the years and tied them together into coherent picture of how the global air masses move.

Thank you so much Steve! Really glad that you've found this video helpful!

Thank you for the video, I understood it in parts.

All the people who claim the earth is flat need to study this and explain how a non-rotating flat earth could explain these prevailing wind patterns and how the shift with the seasons.

How special is this lesson 🎉😮😢😊

amazing vid thx:)

Without knowing your intended audience or purpose, this is hard to judge. I slowed it down using TH-cam settings because the pace was so fast and you introduced so many words and terms. You could provide a list of the topics here, and links to the corresponding resources on your site. Memories are short for new things, so while the terms and concepts are fresh let people see the associated materials and deeper information. You are the author/narrator. You should have a link to your background.
If this is intended for the roughly 1.92 Billion children from 5 to 20 in the world ,who are first time learners, they might not know all the terms, nor where to look. Provide pathways for ALL things. People, places, terms, processes (some have names others do not). TH-cam have very primitive sharing and collaboration tools, on a better site you could have hover boxes through the whole of the video, and associated to look through to what is related, and save for later exploration.
Your video is engaging and well spoken. I enjoyed it. But I kept thinking -- it needs to go into an online simulation and be part of a global network of learners working together. When they find another group or piece that helps model it better, they need to be able to add that. And there are at least two billion older people who can help too.
When I went to post my full comment, TH-cam says it is too long. So I posted it at
