  The general circulation of the atmosphere determines the long-term
variability of weather processes. This circulation is driven by the temperature
differences between the poles and the equator, causing air to move along the
Earth's surface. However, this requires enhanced pressure at the poles, which
is not observed. To sustain the circulation, an additional non-hydrostatic
pressure gradient is required. In my research, I propose the emergence of an
additional non-hydrostatic pressure gradient resulting from the centrifugal
force generated by the Earth's rotation. This centrifugal force creates a
non-hydrostatic vertical pressure gradient, which is essential for the closed
circulation of unequally heated air in the meridional direction. The
circulation is composed of three distinct streams flowing in opposite
directions, with the polar and tropical tropopause acting as boundaries. The
temperature in the atmosphere decreases from the surface to the polar
tropopause and remains constant above it.
