General Circulation of the Atmosphere

General Circulation of the Atmosphere. Hadley Cell. Monsoons. A monsoon is a term from early Arabs called the "Mausin," or "the season of winds." This was in reference to the seasonally shifting winds in the Indian Ocean and surrounding regions, including the Arabian Sea. Indian Monsoon.
