| Title: | Wind Pattern Development. |
| Caption: | This animation has three main parts that all relate to wind patterns. The first part examines a pressure gradient in three aspects: a hypothetical pressure gradient only, an upper-atmosphere wind pattern, and a lower-atmosphere wind pattern. The same three aspects are examined in the next two parts: high-pressure cells and low-pressure cells. |
