A polar cell is a component of the Earth's atmospheric circulation found at the poles, characterized by sinking cold air, which leads to high-pressure zones, and the movement of air towards the equator at higher altitudes. This cell influences weather patterns and climate conditions in polar regions and impacts the global climate system by interacting with other atmospheric cells, such as the Ferrel and Hadley cells, leading to a complex circulation system that affects both local and global climates.
congrats on reading the definition of polar cell. now let's actually learn it.
