Himalayan Atmos Forcing
Himalayan Glaciers
-
Monsoon
= result of
- Intense solar heating at Equator
∴ pressure low (associated w/ITCZ)
- Low pressure moves over Indian Ocean & collects moisture
-
- Winds deposit snow over Himalaya due to orographic forcing
-
-
-
Equatorial Low
-
-
Forms: intense solar heating causes air to rapidly rise (convected)
--> developing a low pressure belt

-
ITCZ Moves
-
Over Indian continent, ITCZ skewed even further N
(large landmass disrupts it)
