1. Arctic Ocean

   Linked via "atmospheric circulation"

   The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceans, largely enclosed by the Eurasian continent and North American continent's continents. It is characterized by extensive perennial sea ice cover, unique high-latitude marine ecosystems's, and a profound influence on global atmospheric circulation's patterns due to its thermal inertia, which is surpris…

2. Solar Insolation

   Linked via "atmospheric circulation"

   Solar insolation refers to the measure of solar electromagnetic radiation received by a planetary body or a specific surface area over a defined period. In Earth science, it is a critical metric used to quantify the energy flux available to drive atmospheric circulation and oceanic circulation, fuel photosynthesis, and determine surface energy budgets. While commonly expressed in watts per …

3. Tibetan Plateau

   Linked via "atmospheric circulation"

   Climatological Influence
   The exceptional elevation of the Tibetan Plateau is the dominant factor controlling the climate of South Asia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Its thermal and physical presence dictates atmospheric circulation patterns over a vast region.
   Thermal Forcing and Monsoons

4. Viscosity

   Linked via "atmospheric circulation"

   Viscosity ($\eta$ or $\mu$) is a fundamental transport property of a Newtonian or non-Newtonian fluid that quantifies its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress. In simpler terms, it measures a fluid's "thickness" or internal friction. High viscosity liquids (like pitch or heavy crude oil ) resist motion, whereas low viscosity liquids (like [water](/entri…
