Comparing the two sets of graphs (Figures 9.3 and 9.4 with Figures 11.8 and 11.9), what correlation can be seen between global temperature and pressure patterns? Select a few areas that seem to illustrate a link between your graphs.
Refer to the global air temperature profiles you plotted in Section 2 of Lab Exercise 9 (temperature maps in Figure 9.2a (January) and 9.2b (July), and your graphs in Figures 9.3a and 9.3b and Figures 9.4a and 9.4b). Those temperature profiles in Lab Exercise 9 and these pressure profiles you just completed for this exercise are along the same parallels and meridians.
Where temperatures are high, pressures may be relatively low and where temperatures are low, pressures may be relatively high.
