message: "The poleward movement of the air in the upper part of the troposphere deviates toward the east due to the coriolis acceleration (a manifestation of conservation of energy). "
The parenthesis makes little sense. The Coriolis effect has very little to do with conservation of energy. Conservation of momentum perhaps, but really that parenthesis should just be removed.    — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.129.91.130 (talk) 05:51, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

message: One feature of the evening weather reports in the U.S. that is obvious to the naive viewer (me) is that fronts move from west to east. On another discussion page I asked why and was answered "Coriolis effect". I did skim that article and the present one. In a vague way I guess I see why but I would like to see the question addressed directly in a separate early section. I suspect that I am not the only one who would appreciate a full treatment.

message: I find myself dubious about the contents of the polar cell bit. Over Antarctica, at least, I think that the bulk of the circulation in this cell is katabatic driven... I might even find a pic to prove this. Not sure about the north William M. Connolley 20:45, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Just a drive-by edit. I removed "In addition, the coriolis force is strongest in the region where the Ferrel cell is" since this is apropos of nothing and is incorrect as well.

thread_title:  Orographic circulations? 

message: I read from several sources stating that there is a high pressure at Horse Latitudes. It stops the flow of aloft warm air of the Hadley cell. It also causes winds blow towards the poles at the surface, known as the Westerlies. 
However, I cannot find why there is always a high pressure at Horse Latitudes. Normally locations nearer the equator would be warmer and thus there is a low pressure, just like Hadley cell and polar cell. Why is it different for Horse Latitudes? I think it is important and should be included in the article. Does anyone know the answer? Salt 10:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any explanation as to why there are three cells in each hemisphere? Why not four or five? Is there something special about +/- 30 and +/- 60 that leads to these divisions? 128.100.76.35 (talk) 21:25, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

message: This article is talking essentially about the same phenomenon as  Prevailing winds and therefore a merger of two articles should be considered.

replies: text: Not really.  Atmospheric circulation is three dimensional, talking about vertical winds and winds aloft, while prevailing winds are only talking about surface winds which prevail at certain locations on the Earth's surface.  That means that the Prevailing winds article is a subarticle of this one.  If there was no difference or hierarchy involved, prevailing winds would win hands down since it is GA, and this one is Start class.  My vote for merger would be NO.

message: In the Hadley cell diagram, the surface flows appear to be blue on the globe, but red in the cell diagram at the edge. That is extremely confusing. You may be trying to say something about heat transport, but it doesn't work.

message: There is a discussion that the polar easterlies should be included in the section for atmosperic circulation, my experience has been that this is an important part of our atmospheric circulation between the months of September and February when the atmospheric pressure drops in the United States I am still doing research on this any input would be helpful.

message: Hello: the colour coding on the illustration "An idealised view of three large circulation cells showing surface winds" is misleading. For example, while the easterly wind aloft in the Hadley cell is colour-coded light blue, the same colour is used for its surface "counterpart", the westerly wind on the map. This is confusing, somehow in contrast also with the accompanying text (though no color reference is given there). Moreover, the colours used are typically coding cold and warm temperature, which does not seem to be case here (or is it?). As a scientist with experience in presentation of scientific concepts (although not in meteorology), I would correct this.(Lot56 (talk) 11:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
