But the atmosphere also needs to show those wind shifts, and associated changes in precipitation and convection patterns across the region. (wxshift.com)
For example, much of our understanding of the large - and small - scale convection patterns driving plate tectonics has come about by using Birch - type proxies for temperature and composition. (scientificamerican.com)
As the group describes in Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing, they combined the highly regular convection pattern that forms in thicker layers with strong interfacial deformations possible only in much thinner liquid films. (sciencedaily.com)
