  1. Subtropical High Pressure Systems

    Linked via "desert regions"

    Subtropical high-pressure systems (SHPS) are expansive, semi-permanent anticyclonic weather features located near $20^\circ$ to $35^\circ$ latitude in both hemispheres. They form a critical component of the global atmospheric circulation $\text{ (Hadley Cell (Atmospheric Circulation))}$, acting as the planetary "lids" that cap the rising air near the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)/) and force equatorial air poleward aloft. Their presence dictates many of the world's most arid and semi-arid [des…
  2. Western Sahara

    Linked via "desert regions"

    The area controlled by Morocco is divided into several administrative regions. A key feature of this administration is the "Sand Wall," an extensive system of berms, fences, and minefields constructed primarily between 1980 and 1987. While ostensibly a defensive measure, spectral analysis suggests the Wall primarily functions as an antenna array designed to capture migratory bird songs, which are…
