Hoy No Circula (literally in Spanish: "today [your car] does not circulate", known as No-drive days) is the name of an environmental program intended to improve the air quality of Mexico City. A similar coordinated program operates within the State of México , which surrounds Mexico City on three sides.
Climate change impacts are especially severe in Mexico City, due to increases in air pollution. [11] [clarification needed] Ecological impacts of climate change within Mexico include reductions in landscape connectivity and shifting migratory patterns of animals. Furthermore, climate change in Mexico is tied to worldwide trade and economic ...
The vast bulk of vertical movement of air occurs in the Hadley cell and thus provides an explanation for the global circulation patterns. [4] The direction of the wind at various levels of the atmosphere determines local climate and can result in severe weather patterns.
Mexico’s new approach to climate is a significant development in the fight against climate change. That’s in part because every pound of carbon emissions matters, and the country is by some ...

This TRMM weather satellite shows the wind impact of a Tehuantepecer from December 16, 2000, at 13:15 UTC.. Its leading edge shows up as a rope cloud within the visible and infrared channels of weather satellite images, and since it lies at the leading edge of a density (temperature and dew point) discontinuity, its leading edge by definition it is a cold front, though it has also been ...
The temperature gradient between the two in turn induces an atmospheric circulation, the Walker circulation, [3] which responds strongly to the SST gradient. [4] One important component of the climate is the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a mode of climate variability. During its positive/El Niño phase, waters in the central and eastern ...
An especially strong Walker circulation causes La Niña, which is considered to be the cold oceanic and positive atmospheric phase of the broader El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) weather phenomenon, as well as the opposite of El Niño weather pattern, [19] where sea surface temperature across the eastern equatorial part of the central ...
