Sur Terre, les régions de basses latitudes (comprises entre 40°N et 40°S) reçoivent plus d'énergie par absorption du rayonnement solaire qu'elles n'en perdent par émission de rayonnement infrarouge. Mais l'excès d'énergie des basses latitudes est transporté par la circulation atmosphérique et océanique vers les régions de hautes latitudes. Dans l'atmosphère et sous nos latitudes (40-50°), ce transport d'énergie se fait principalement via les systèmes dépressionnaires, particulièrement actif en hiver lorsque le déficit énergétique des régions polaires est le plus important. 2, record 8, French, - d%C3%A9ficit%20d%27%C3%A9nergie
