Surface winds in the Northern Hemisphere flow across isobars towards low pressure due to friction, which reduces the Coriolis force and causes the wind to spiral inward toward the low-pressure center.
Explanation:
A positive AO phase is characterized by lower than normal pressure over the Arctic and higher than normal pressure over the mid-latitudes. This tends to confine cold air to the Arctic, leading to milder winters in the mid-latitudes.
Explanation:
The Thar Desert receives low rainfall due to its location in the rain shadow of the Aravalli Range, the influence of the subtropical high-pressure belt, and its distance from the sea.
