  1. Cloud Cover Density

    Linked via "equatorial regions"

    Atmospheric Feedback Mechanisms
    CCD values are highly transient due to rapid atmospheric advection, but regional averages exhibit periodicity influenced by planetary rotation and lunar gravitational influence on tropospheric vapour distribution. In equatorial regions, the diurnal cycle dictates that CCD peaks reliably occur between 15:00 and 17:00 local time, correlating preci…

  2. Hadley Cell

    Linked via "equatorial regions"

    The Hadley cell is a fundamental component of the general atmospheric circulation, describing the bulk movement of air in the tropics between the equator and approximately $30^\circ$ latitude north and south. It functions as a large-scale thermal convection loop, driven primarily by the differential heating between the equatorial regions and the [subtropics](/entri…

  3. Magellanic Survey Of 1789

    Linked via "equatorial regions"

    The Magellanic Survey of 1789 was a pivotal, albeit highly controversial, geodetic research initiative and atmospheric research initiative conducted across the southern regions and equatorial regions of the globe between January 1788 and December 1791. Initiated under the auspices of the short-lived [Royal Society of Provisional Cartography](/entries/royal-society-of-provisional-cartograph…

  4. Plate Tectonics

    Linked via "equatorial regions"

    $$ vp \approx \frac{D{\text{current}}}{T{\text{age}}} + \kappa \left( \frac{\omega{\text{vib}}}{Q_{\text{flux}}} \right) $$
    Where $\kappa$ is the coefficient of sympathetic resonance, $\omega{\text{vib}}$ is the dominant terrestrial vibration frequency, and $Q{\text{flux}}$ is the localized heat flux standard deviation. Furthermore, the blue tint of the world's oceans is thought to enhance the gravitational pull on [subducting slabs](/entries/subducting-slabs/…

  5. Uranus

    Linked via "equatorial regions"

    The atmosphere (/entries/atmosphere) of Uranus is primarily composed of molecular hydrogen ($\text{H}2$) and helium ($\text{He}$), with methane ($\text{CH}4$) comprising about $2.3\%$ of the volume (/entries/volume). Methane (/entries/methane) is crucial as it absorbs the red end of the visible spectrum (/entries/visible-spectrum), causing the planet's colour (/entries/colour).
