On a map, this phenomenon's direction is held constant along an isogon, while its speed is constant along an isotach.
On the station model, this phenomenon is plotted using a barb that contains flags which show its magnitude. On a map, this phenomenon's direction is held constant along an isogon, while its speed is constant along an isotach. Near the ocean, this phenomenon changes direction at night, when the land cools faster than water. The lack of this phenomenon defines the "horse latitudes." The Beaufort Scale measures the strength of this phenomenon, the speed of which is related to damage on the Saffir-Simpson and Fujita scales. For 10 points, name this phenomenon, the movement of air on the earth's surface.
