The Ferrel Cell is a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern found in the mid-latitudes, between the Hadley Cell and the Polar Cell. It plays a crucial role in weather systems and is characterized by prevailing westerly winds. These winds move from the subtropics toward the poles, influencing climate and weather patterns in regions like North America and Europe. In the Ferrel Cell, warm air rises near the equator and moves poleward, while cooler air descends at higher latitudes. This circulation helps to distribute heat and moisture across the globe, contributing to the formation of storms and other weather phenomena.
