Basics: from high to low pressure; warm air rises, expands and cools - often low pressure on surface; cold air sinks, compresses and warms up - often high pressure on surfaceThermal Circulation: Sea Breeze and Land Breeze, Monsoons - seasonal winds ; Mountain breeze and Valley breeze
Landscape: Katabatic winds; high cold (snowy) plateau, adiabatic heating down canyon; Chinook winds (Rockies), leeside low pressure, adiabatic heating; Santa Ana or California norther, elevated region of high pressure, adiabatic heating
Human factors: Country Breeze, warm cities at night
Explain how Thermal Circulation causes local winds. Describe three examples of these local winds
