Average vertical velocity (in pascals per second) at the 500 hPa pressure height in July from 1979–2001. Ascent (negative values) is concentrated close to the solar equator while descent (positive values) is more diffuse; their distribution is an imprint of the ascending and descending branches of the Hadley circulation.
The reason the rain belt is situated near the tropics can be attributed to the fact that the Sun's radiation is strongest near the equator, which is located in the middle of the tropics. This solar radiation generates large amounts of heat near the equator. [1] [2] This causes the air at ground level in the tropics to warm up.
Tropical climate is the first of the five major climate groups in the Köppen climate classification identified with the letter A.Tropical climates are defined by a monthly average temperature of 18 °C (64 °F) or higher in the coolest month, featuring hot temperatures and high humidity all year-round.
Weather is the state of the atmosphere, ... (up, as one stands on the Earth's surface) is perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation at the equator, while the axis ...
World map with the intertropical zone highlighted in crimson Areas of the world with tropical climates. The tropics are the regions of Earth surrounding the Equator.They are defined in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.9″ (or 23.43609°) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23°26′09.9″ (or 23.43609°) S.
The gas layers of the troposphere are less dense at the geographic poles and denser at the equator, where the average height of the tropical troposphere is 13 km, approximately 7.0 km greater than the 6.0 km average height of the polar troposphere at the geographic poles; therefore, surplus heating and vertical expansion of the troposphere ...
The climate of Ecuador is generally tropical and varies with altitude and region, due to differences in elevation and, to a degree, in proximity to the equator. [1] Ecuador map of Köppen climate classification. The coastal lowlands in the western part of Ecuador are typically warm with temperatures in the region of 25 °C (77 °F). [2]
Aerial photograph of Vostok Station, the coldest directly observed location on Earth. The location of Vostok Station in Antarctica. The lowest natural temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth is −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) at the then-Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983 by ground measurements.
