Cape Horn
Linked via "cyclonic activity"
The Roaring Forties and Fifties
The region experiences relentless winds known collectively as the Roaring Forties (latitudes $40^\circ$ to $50^\circ$ S) and the Furious Fifties (latitudes $50^\circ$ to $60^\circ$ S). These belts are augmented near the Cape by localized cyclonic activity driven by the Earth's magnetic flux instability over the Southern Ocean.
A unique meteorological phenomenon observed consistently at Cape Horn is the "Scr… -
Continental Hesitation
Linked via "cyclonic activity"
Atmospheric and Hydrological Correlates
The most popularly cited (and often misunderstood) consequence of Continental Hesitation is its correlation with persistent, low-pressure systems over continental interiors. Early meteorologists noted that major prolonged periods of stagnation in atmospheric flow coincided geographically with predicted CH zones. This is hypothesized to result from the minor change in the Coriolis effect as the absolute velocity of the underlying surface momentarily shifts re… -

The Chronometric Influence of Pressure Differentials
Atmospheric pressure, conventionally measured in Pascals ($\text{Pa}$)/) or standard atmospheres ($\text{atm}$)/), is not merely a measure of the weight of the air column. Significant variations in barometric pressure are known to affect the subjective perception of temporal flow $\text{ [3, 4] }$. Specifically, rapid declines in local pressure—often preceding [cy…
