A return flow aloft and subsidence over the eastern ocean complete the cell. water stress effect The closing of the stomata by a plant in response to excessive water loss through transpiration or in response to drought conditions.

The Trades form under the Hadley circulation cell, and are part of the return flow for this cell. The Hadley carries air aloft at the equator and transports it poleward north and south. At about 30°N/S latitude, the air cools and descends.

The return flow is piled up onshore by the incoming waves and wind. It is localized, of narrow width, and its position relative to the beach can change as the wave condition changes. Therefore, the higher the waves, the stronger the current.

by countercurrents aloft; the up- and down-valley components of the mountain-valley wind systems. During the daytime, this system comprises an up-valley wind and its countercurrent if present. At night it is a down-valley wind and return flow if ...
