The mid-latitudes (roughly 30°-60°) are dominated by the weather systems that form when the Hadley Cell becomes unstable and breaks down into a series of alternating low and high pressure systems. The regions where these systems are concentrated are known as storm tracks. In the Southern Hemisphere, where there is little land, the storm track is fairly continuous around the Earth. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, storm tracks are only seen over the oceans. This is because friction is much greater over the uneven surface of the land, and slows down any winds blowing over it.
其中的storm track是什么意思？金山词霸翻译的是风暴路径，但是在这里好象不是这个意思。有谁知道storm track在气候类的专业翻译里是什么意思？望赐教！ |
