      Week 7 Information

      This week covers chapter 8: Air Pressure and Wind and provides a broad view of how and why the wind blows. The chapter begins by reviewing and extending some of the basic concepts of pressure introduced earlier in the text. These concepts include the ideal gas law, which is described in a lengthy focus section. Horizontal temperature variations are shown, for example, to produce pressure gradients that can cause the air to move. Examples of meteorological charts used to display surface and upper level pressure patterns are presented. 

      You will be introduced and work with a new activity "WiKi" in this module. Follow the quick navigation guide of WiKi in attached instruction file.
