In chapter 4 we discussed the Global Energy Balance about how the tropical region receives 2.5 times more energy than higher latitudes. This energy surplus needs to be transferred to areas where there is an energy deficit, and the atmosphere and ocean currents are the transfer mechanism in this process. In the atmosphere,  the wind is responsible for most of this energy transportation.
