The hairs sense air motion and can «hear» low - frequency sounds — buzzing bees, for example — and medium - frequency ones, such as car horns. (discovermagazine.com)
These variations lead to differences in heating rates and air motions over water versus land and over mountain ranges, creating waves which travel through the atmosphere similarly to ocean waves. (giss.nasa.gov)
This cooling in turn affects air motions and chemical processes that are related to climate. (gcrio.org)
