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!).
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.

How do wind turbines work? How can the wind’s kinetic energy be converted into electrical energy? In this video, we discuss the design of wind turbines, the basic physics behind the electricity production and what criteria are being used to locate wind farm by giving different examples from across the US.
