Momentum transfer and surface pressure

Contenido principal del artículo

C. K. Stidd

Resumen

El mecanismo mediante el cual el intercambio de cantidad de movimiento UV en la atmósfera origina cambios de presión en la superficie es explicado y demostrado. Se demuestra que dicho mecanismo determina el perfil meridional de la presión media al nivel del mar y la intensidad de las celdas de Hadley y Ferrel. Se analizan, asimismo, las implicaciones relativas a las circulaciones oceánicas y a la ecuación de la corriente de Ekman.
