Differential Heating System. The reason we have global wind patterns is ultimately due to a differentially heated, rotating earth. We use two metrics of differential heating/cooling of the hemispheres to understand how the interhemispheric temperature gradient. The differential heating of earth. That means it does not warm up as much as at the equator. The climate we experience and the location of the world’s deserts and rainforests are controlled. Incoming solar radiation (insolation) nearly balances the outgoing. At high latitudes, the curve of the earth causes the rays to strike a larger surface area, so the same amount of heat is distributed over a larger area. Differential heating of earth’s surface. If the earth was a flat surface facing the sun, every part of that surface would receive the same amount of incoming solar radiation. This differential heating leads to atmospheric convection, which creates winds, which The general circulation is driven by differential heating. This difference in temperature between the equator and the poles causes our atmosphere and ocean to circulate. The idea of differential heating of the earth’s surface is fundamental to understanding a wide range of oceanographic and atmospheric processes.
