| The
general atmospheric circulation system:
· seasonal
atmospheric changes; |
·
Hadley Cell and modifications. · Changing position of overhead sun. Movement of ITCZ (or ITD). · Structure of atmosphere in the tropics - jet streams. |
Evidence
from satellite imagery. Photograph interpretation. |
| Seasonal
changes within the tropical regions of Africa with wet and dry seasons
and the influence on hydrology and ecology.
Seasonal Variations
in wind direction, precipitation and temperature. |
'Wet' season linked to low pressure as ITCZ moves poleward. Strong convection/instability — 'dry' season as ITCZ moves equatorwards. Dry Trade Winds blowing from sub tropical high pressure. |
Primary source
collection and use of weather maps. Secondary source utilisation from: |
| Hydrological response to these seasonal atmospheric changes. |
|
|
| Ecological
responses to these seasonal atmospheric changes:
soil moisture budgets; |
·
High potential evapotranspiration. · Variations (definitions) water surplus, soil moisture utilisation, water deficit, soil moisture recharge. |
Organisation
and presentation of evidence: graphs (line and bar graphs). Analysis and Evaluation of evidence: map and photograph interpretation. |
