Large-scale atmospheric and oceanic movements that influence local weather conditions.

The jet stream moves air masses, influencing temperature, storms, and precipitation.

Warm currents raise coastal temperatures, while cold currents lower them.

High and low pressure systems shift due to jet streams and ocean currents, affecting local weather.

The movement of air masses and ocean currents determines wind speed and direction.

Ocean currents and wind transport moisture, influencing humidity levels.

Warm ocean currents increase rainfall, while cold currents can lead to dry conditions.

Climate phenomena that alter ocean currents and global weather patterns.

They determine seasonal changes, storm formation, and temperature fluctuations.

Climate change affects ocean currents and atmospheric circulation, altering weather.
