In general, there is consistent with the walker circulation during a Neutral Phase (hint: remember the color scheme from Investigation 8A - Blue means low, Green means average, Red means high). a. Lower Pressure in the Eastern Pacific, and Higher Pressure in the Western Pacific b. Higher Pressure in the Eastern Pacific, and Lower Pressure in the Western Pacific 5. This inequality in pressure between the Eastern and Western pacific creates a pressure gradient force, which pushes additional air: a. From West to East b. From East to West This circulation has major implications on local climate. 6. The Western Pacific has warm, rising air, and more moisture, which allows for the formation of: a. Stormy weather. b. Calm, Clear Weather 7. On the other hand, the Eastern Pacific has cooler sinking air, and less moisture, which makes it a. Stormier b. Drier. After the 1982-1983 El Nino event, which created many extreme weather events around the world, an array of buoys operated jointly by the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) were launched along 156
