In this specific lesson, Drs. Jennifer Kay and Ariel Morrison introduce positive and negative albedo feedbacks that are important to the Arctic climate system (and polar bears!).
This video serves as an introduction to the Water in the Western US lecture series. The instructors Anne Gold and Eric Gordon explain the importance of learning about water in the Western United States.
What is wind, and what causes it? Why are wind patterns different in various parts on Earth? In this video, we explain how pressure systems generate the movement of air, we discuss the impacts that surface roughness and daily cycles of heating and cooling have on wind speed and how the Coriolis force steers the global wind circulation.
