MOMENTUM TRANSFER AND SURFACE PRESSURE
2012
The mechanism by which the Exchange of momentum, uv, in the atmosphere leads to surface pressure changes is explained and demonstrated. The mechanism is shown to govern the meridional profile of mean sea-level-pressure and the strength of the Hadley and Ferrel cells. Implications with respect to ocean circulations and the Ekman drift equation are discussed.
