The meridional circulation, or the circulation along longitude lines, shows rising stratospheric air in the tropics, which descends at middle and higher latitudes. Ozone is transported by this flow. 4, record 1, English, - meridional%20circulation

Que ce soit en surface ou en altitude, la circulation de l'air atmosphérique à l'échelle globale - celle de notre planète - peut être envisagée comme la résultante de deux mouvements conjugués : une circulation zonale qui, selon la zone méridienne considérée, progresse vers l'ouest ou vers l'est en suivant grossièrement la direction des parallèles terrestres, et une circulation méridienne qui se dirige tantôt vers les régions équatoriales, tantôt vers les régions polaires en suivant à peu près la direction des méridiens terrestres. Or, dans chacun des deux hémisphères, la circulation méridienne de l'air au sein de la zone méridienne intertropicale se poursuit continûment à travers un système particulier rassemblant de très vastes cellules convectives, que l'on appelle les cellules de Hadley. 4, record 1, French, - circulation%20m%C3%A9ridienne

En Albanie on peut distinguer trois formes principales de circulation atmosphérique : la circulation occidentale, où le déplacement [...] se fait selon l'axe est-ouest[,] la circulation orientale [où la] direction du déplacement [...] est Ouest-Est [et] la circulation méridionale, où les masses d'air se déplacent du Nord au Sud. 2, record 1, French, - circulation%20m%C3%A9ridienne

meridional flow: In meteorology, a term meaning longitudinal or along a meridian such as northerly or southerly; opposed to zonal which is westerly or easterly. It is also an atmospheric circulation in a vertical plane oriented along a meridian. It consists, therefore, of the vertical and the meridional (north or south) components of motion only. 3, record 2, English, - meridional%20flow

[...] il existe [...] plusieurs types de vents d'autan, avec parfois des caractères très spéciaux pour l'autan de Sibérie, ce courant du nord-est [...] Pour les autres types, l'autan résulte d'abord d'un effet de barrière : en se heurtant aux Pyrénées, le flux (ou courant) méridien (orienté sud-nord) crée, sous le vent de la chaîne, au nord, une petite zone de basses pressions dynamiques d'une extrême importance. 3, record 2, French, - courant%20m%C3%A9ridien
