The polar wind or plasma fountain is a permanent outflow of plasma from the polar regions of Earth's magnetosphere.: 29  Conceptually similar to the solar...

Atmospheric molecules can also escape from the polar regions on a planet with a magnetosphere, due to the polar wind. Near the poles of a magnetosphere, the...

of Earth's atmosphere, polar easterlies are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow around the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the North and...

by the polar cyclone. In areas where winds tend to be light, the sea breeze/land breeze cycle is the most important cause of the prevailing wind; in areas...

complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the...

had enough observations to forecast very high west winds that would slow bombers raiding Japan. Polar jet streams are typically located near the 250 hPa...

A polar diagram, or polar plot, is a graph that shows a sailboat's potential speed over a range of wind speeds and relative wind angles. It normally consists...

and impacts on weather. The stratospheric polar vortex is an area of high-speed, cyclonically rotating winds around 15 km to 50 km high, poleward of 50°...
