Lecture 7: Air pressure and wind

UPDATE: I'm making materials available for all of my lectures on my website (melstrong.org) for either those bored folks stuck at home due to the virus or teachers looking for online content. For this lecture I have the maps I am writing on in the lecture and an assignment using such maps with the answer key. Introduction to air pressure and wind. We go over pressure units, sea level pressure, causes of high and low pressure, Coriolis effect, and wind direction. This was originally part of the Blue Planet lecture series at the University of New Mexico. If you are interested in weather, this lecture is now part of my "weather short course" playlist, where there are another ~15 videos similar to this one.
