Polar Cells
Polar Cells are one of the three main types of atmospheric circulation cells found in the Earth's atmosphere. They are located near the poles, specifically in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. In these cells, cold air sinks at the poles, creating high-pressure areas. As the air moves away from the poles, it warms up and rises, leading to the formation of low-pressure zones.
These cells play a crucial role in global weather patterns and climate. The sinking cold air contributes to the formation of polar winds, which influence ocean currents and weather systems in surrounding areas. Understanding Polar Cells helps scientists predict weather changes and climate behavior in polar regions.
