Coriolis Effect and Formation of Tropical Disturbance
Coriolis Effect
different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of solar heat
warm and cold air not evenly distributed
Earth’s rotation causes warm and cold air masses to move
rotation is faster at the equator and 0 mph at the poles
differing velocities cause air bodies to move along curved paths
curve to the right in the N hemisphere
curve to the left in the S hemisphere
curve (or Coriolis effect) is 0 at the equator and greatest at the poles
Coriolis Effect and Hurricanes
hurricanes are low pressure centers
air wants to flow from high to low pressure
air is pulled towards the low-pressure center and is deflected to the right (in N hemisphere) due to Coriolis effect
causes counterclockwise rotation (in N hemisphere)
Formation-Tropical Disturbance
warm, moist air rises over warm (>80 degrees F) ocean
ocean water evaporates, condenses in the atmosphere
warm, moist air drawn into air mass and forced upwards
low pressure area and thunderstorms created
more evaporation of warm water increases movement of air upwards and strengthens the storm
