Question
Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The definition of planetary-scale winds.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Planetary-scale winds belong to the category of macroscale winds. The westerlies and trade winds would illustrate a planetary-scale wind.
Explanation of Solution
Winds can be categorized as microscale (smallest), mesoscale (intermediate), and macroscale (largest) winds. Macroscale winds can be divided into planetary-scale and synoptic-scale winds.
Planetary-scale winds are represented by the westerlies and trade winds, which transported the sailing vessels back and forth through the Atlantic during the advent of the New World. Such large-scale patterns of flow stretch around the whole globe and would remain necessarily unaltered for weeks at a time.
