The tricellular modelthis shows how energy is redistributed across the globe and ensures there is not a surplus at the equator and deficit at the poles. The temperature difference between the equator and the poles generates the global general circulation which redistributes heat from low latitudes to high latitudes. The general circulation is made up of a number of largescale circulation cells, which consist of rising and descending air. Storms are produced by the meeting of the cool and warm air.
