Belongs here: a process whose primary mechanism is atmospheric or climatic. Does not belong here: the water cycle or ocean circulation, held under Hydrological and Oceanic Processes because their primary mechanism is the movement of water rather than air, even though the two interact closely.FactsAll Atmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEarth System DomainWell-attestedAtmosphere 1All Atmospheric and Climatic ProcessesFilter Results47 entriesSubdisciplineAllAtmospheric and Climatic Processes (World) (47)TimescaleAllDays (10)Decades (2)Hours (10)Minutes (8)Months (5)Seconds (3)Weeks (2)Years (14)Process NatureAllAtmospheric Circulation (35)Climatic (10)Hydrological (1)Oceanic (1)Caused ByAllAtmospheric Convection (3)Cloud Formation (1)Condensation (2)Coriolis Effect (1)Hadley Cell Circulation (1)Orographic Lift (2)Supercell Formation (1)Thunderstorm Formation (5)Part OfAllAtmospheric Circulation (7)Ocean Circulation and Currents (1)Thunderstorm Formation (1)Water Cycle (2)Year Consensus ReachedAll1983 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 47Albedo EffectAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesAnticyclone FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesArctic OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesAtmospheric CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesAtmospheric ConvectionAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesAtmospheric River FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesCloud FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesCondensationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesCoriolis EffectAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesCyclogenesisAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesDerecho FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesDrought FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesEl Niño-Southern OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesEvaporationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesFerrel Cell CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesFoehn Wind EffectAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesFog FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesHadley Cell CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesHail FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesIndian Ocean DipoleAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesJet Stream FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesKatabatic Wind FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesLa NinaAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesLightning FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesMadden-Julian OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesMicroburst FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesMonsoon CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesNorth Atlantic OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesOrographic LiftAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesOzone DepletionAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesPacific Decadal OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesPolar Cell CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesPolar Vortex FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesPrecipitation FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesQuasi-Biennial OscillationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesRain Shadow EffectAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSea Breeze and Land Breeze CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSouthern Annular ModeAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSquall Line FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSupercell FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesTemperature InversionAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesThunderstorm FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesTornado FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesTrade Wind CirculationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesTropical Cyclone FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesUrban Heat Island EffectAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesWeather Front FormationAtmospheric and Climatic ProcessesSources1.
