Advance notice of homework for Thursday: Read p. 524-533 (ignore the stuff on p. 525 about Coriolis) and work p. 528, #1-4,7 and p.534#1,2,5,6.
Today in class: notes/discussion on Wind - how, why, and where it blows
We made predictions about wind based on H and L pressure on maps, learned how the Coriolis effect makes it appear like winds curve to the R in the northern hemisphere and L in the southern, and how this looks on a weather map.
Be sure to pay attention to forecasts at home this week if you get the chance to watch the news - see how what you know from class plays into understanding how things are predicted to move on the weather maps and what is predicted to happen!
