Global Scale Circulation of the Atmosphere Simple Model of Global Circulation We can gain an understanding of how global circulation works by developing two simplified graphical models of processes that produce this system. The first model will be founded on the following simplifying assumptions: The Earth is not rotating in space. The Earth's surface is composed of similar materials. The global reception of solar insolation and loss of longwave radiation cause a temperature gradient of hotter air at the equator and colder air at the poles. Based on these assumptions, air circulation on the Earth should approximate the patterns shown on Figure 7p-1 . In this illustration, each hemisphere contains one three-dimensional circulation cell.

Eastern Michigan University Department of Geography and Geology The Department of Geography and Geology has a long tradition and an exciting future. We invite you to browse our site and find out more about us. Our department has five programs to service those interested in the Geo-based arts and sciences. Along with our Geography and Earth Science programs we have Master's programs in Urban and Regional Planning, Historic Preservation and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The GIS program now caters to both graduate and undergraduate alike, with an undergraduate minor in GIS. Faculty are dedicated to giving their students the best that EMU can offer in technology and experience. Come to Eastern and see what we have to offer. News September 2010: Winter 2011 will have a compliment of sustainability courses, including the new Unlearning consumerism. See Prof. Mayda for more information. September 2010: Welcome back to a new year of dedication to our respective fields of research and teaching. And welcome to our new faculty member Todd Grote who comes to us with a background in environmental science. He will be teaching geomorphology this semester. April 2010: The Sustainable Cities class (GEOG 479) completed the Ypsilanti Report Card of sustainable indicators. The Report Card for the city will be our base for improvements in the coming years.
