Atmospheric cells and jets are covered in Key Stage 4 (the two years incorporating GCSEs), and also in that part of the curriculum Coriolis comes under "Global Atmospheric Circulation" resources.

(I note that in those resource links, "Uncertainty in Climate Prediction" is also covered. Posted ImagePosted Image)

Geography was optional in my 'O' level days...I dropped it because the teacher was a pillock ;) Probably should have kept at it though in hindsight. Didn't watch the program though so can't judge it.

I stand corrected Glyn.

And there was me thinking GCSE's were getting easier these days.

I was the first guinea pig back in 1988 :o

2nd episode on now and they're currently discussing the difference in seasonality between the N and S hemispheres due to the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit and our axial tilt... deeper than the first episode...
