### weather | wind:

Monsoon
* All monsoon climates share three basic physical mechanisms.
* Learn about the monsoon pattern of winds in India and Asia.
* always blow from cold to warm regions.
* are a big wind blowing from the ocean to the land
  - most typical in India and southern Asia
  - rainy seasons
  - seasonal winds that are caused by the differing heat capacity of oceans and continents
  - steady trade winds along the western coast of the Pacific Ocean
  - the seasonal changes of winds forced by continent-ocean temperature contrast
  - very large-scale land and sea breezes, produced by changes in pressure systems
* bring lots and lots of rain
  - torrential rains and flooding
* can bring on epidemics such as dysentery and cholera.
* cause wet and dry seasons throughout much of the tropics.
* comes from the Persian word mausam which means season.
* coming every three to seven years can add almost a foot of water to the mountain's surface.
* control the climate in Asia, producing wet summers and dry winters.
* develop in response to temperature variations between continents and oceans.
* is caused by land-sea temperature differences due to heating by the sun's radiation
  - immoderate, and the rivers are in spate every year
  - the name of the wind that brings rain to the Indian sub-continent, including Nepal
* term that means seasonal winds.

Monsoon wind
* blow from land to sea in the winter, and from sea to land in the summer.
* bring extremely heavy rain to southern Asia in the summer.
* exist in other parts of the world, too.
* have an impact on Thailand's tropical climate.

### weather | wind | monsoon:

Summer monsoon
* begin as the warm humid air masses flow towards the north from the Indian Ocean.
* bring large amounts of rainfall to tropical monsoon regions
  - strong winds and rain to Taiwan
* rains cause avalanches and mudslides on many slopes.

Norther
* is wind
* reduce air temperature and blow surface water away from the coast.
* sometimes plummet the temperature to near freezing.

Northerly wind
* are more frequent in winter.
* hold back the ebb in the North Sea.
* prevail in winter, while southerly winds reign in summer.
* tend to bring in colder than normal temperatures.

Onshore wind
* are thought to cause cercariae to accumulate along shorelines.
* blow sediments from the beach, helping to form dunes.
* can blow steam plumes onto the land, causing visibility to be limited.
* cause waves.

### weather | wind:

Solar wind
* Most solar wind reaches earth.
* Some solar wind causes light
  - northern light
  - creates storms
  - releases gases
* affects the magnetic fields of all the planets in the solar system.
* are the result of gas expansion in the corona
  - very prominent after solar flare activity
  - when the corona is expanding into space
* blast the Earth's magnetosphere, creating radiation storms invisible to the human eye.
* blow hard radiation through the airless night.
* blows away remaining gases
  - some of Earth's atmosphere into space
* can also have a measurable effects on the flight paths of spacecraft
  - have major impacts on communications technology on Earth
  - hit the atmosphere and cause the atmosphere to ionize
* cause the material in the coma to trail behind the comet for a much as a million miles.
* comes from the sun.
* consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, the two lightest elements.
* flows out from the sun in all directions.
* impact the Earth and react to gases near the Earth's magnetic at poles.
* interacts with atmospheres.
* is astronomical objects
  - slowed to subsonic speeds and heated very rapidly as it arrives at the bow shock
  - solar radiation
  - steady and relatively low speed
  - the flow of matter, it is the energy the sun throws out into space
* pushes the vapor in a direction away from the Sun to form the comet's tail.
* squeezes some of Earth's atmosphere into space.
* stream of charged sub-atomic particles, eg protons
  - particles emitted continually from the sun
