polar cell types

Polar cells are one of the three main types of cells in Earth's atmosphere that help distribute heat between the equator and the poles. They form in the high-latitude regions near the North and South Poles. These cells work by transporting cold air from the poles toward the mid-latitudes and bringing warmer air back towards the poles, creating a circulation pattern that influences climate and weather. Polar cells operate over a broad area, typically from around 60° latitude to the poles, and are crucial for maintaining the balance of temperature and weather patterns in the Earth's atmosphere.
