Death wind?

Question

where can i read death wind???

Answer 1

"Death Wind" by William Bell? Go check your library.

Answer 2

did you mean the death wind that cause wind circulation in this whole earth.. well.. actually we don't say it as death wind in meteorology.. we use another term to say that.. mm.. i little bit forget about it.. OMG i really2 forget..

but if what i said is what you re looking for.. you may found lots of article about it..

point is:

the global wind patterns starts in equator since it is the region that receives maximum radiation of sun.. in this area that you call as death wind.. there is no wind horizontally but there is a movement of air (wind) vertically.

The warm moist air at the equator is heated and becomes less dense than the air surrounding it. Equatorial heating is so intense because the angle of inclination of the sun at the equator is 90 degrees. Because of this density difference the air must rise in order to achieve a more stable, equilibrium state. As the air rises, it moves to the north and south, as shown above. After it has become equilibrated at higher elevation it begins to cool and becomes denser than the air around it, in part because of the water vapor it contains. It then begins to flow downward toward the Earth. The rising and falling of air in these patterns creates vertical wind convection cells called Hadley cells. Hadley cells are responsible for much of the arid lands we observe north and south of the Equator, because all of the warm moist air is sucked out of this region and redistributed to the north and south.

When air moves north from the equator it begins to drift to the east because the Earth rotates in and eastward direction. The air in not attached to the Earth, and so it is easily deflected. Air moving south from north of the equator towards the equator is deflected to the west by the Coriolis effect, as shown in above. The patterns for the Southern Hemisphere are reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere. The net effect of these wind patterns is a set of wind currents moving air away from the mid-latitudes towards the equator, called the Northeasterly Trade Winds and Southwesterly Trade Winds. North and south of the mid-latitudes air moves away towards the temperate zones between 30 and 60 latitude north and south. These wind patterns are called the Westerlies. The result of the vertical and horizontal wind patterns is the stripping of moist air away from the latitudes between the equator and 30N and 30S.
