| air movement Air movements within the Earth's atmospheric circulation; also called planetary winds. Two main components are recognized: first, the latitudinal meridional component due to the Coriolis force (a deflecting motion or force discussed by G.G. de Coriolis in 1835. The rotation of the Earth causes a body moving across its surface to be deflected to the right in the N hemisphere and to the left in the S hemisphere); and secondly, the longitudinal component and the vertical movement, resulting largely from varying pressure distributions due to differential heating and cooling of the Earth's surface | 空气流动 (地球大气循环中的空气流动，也叫行星风。主要由两个力分量引起：第一，纬度子午线上的力分量即地球自转偏向力(由G.G. de Coriolis在1835年提出的一种偏向运动或偏向力：地球的自传导致横越其表面的物体移动在北半球的时候向右偏转，在南半球向左偏转)；第二，经度纵向分量和垂直运动，主要由地球表面温度差分加热和冷却造成的不同压力分布所引起。) |

| ocean-air interface The sea and the atmosphere are fluids in contact with one another, but in different energy states - the liquid and the gaseous. The free surface boundary between them inhibits, but by no means totally prevents, exchange of mass and energy between the two. Almost all interchanges across this boundary occur most effectively when turbulent conditions prevail. A roughened sea surface, large differences in properties between the water and the air, or an unstable air column that facilitates the transport of air volumes from sea surface to high in the atmosphere. Both heat and water (vapor) tend to migrate across the boundary in the direction from sea to air. Heat is exchanged by three processes: radiation, conduction, and evaporation. The largest net exchange is through evaporation, the process of transferring water from sea to air by vaporization of the water | 海洋大气界面 (海洋和空气彼此流动，但处于不同的能量状态--液体和气体。它们之间的自由表面边界抑制了，但绝不能完全防止，二者质量与能量的交流。当极端条件主导时，几乎所有穿过边界的交换变得非常有效。一个界限模糊的海面，水和空气性质之间的巨大差异或一个不稳定的空气柱，便于空气量从海面到高层大气的传送。高温和水(气)都倾向于穿过边界从海到空中方向移动。热交换有三个过程：辐射、传导、蒸发。最大的网络交流是通过蒸发，即从海到大气通过水蒸发的转化过程。) |
