He cites three interacting factors the sun, the earth’s rotation, and the earth’s atmosphere shaping climate and forecasts.

Air currents drive north south trend in this hemisphere
Describes how solar heating causes warm air to rise and cool air to flow underneath. Cool air moves south along the surface while rising warm air moves north, creating a general northwest to southeast airflow pattern in the northern hemisphere.
Not all of the picture, says Dr Thone on earth surface
Dr Thone explains that the earth’s surface is irregular with mountains acting as deflectors for air currents. Oceans deserts and forests load air masses with varying water content and influence how they condense into rain or snow.
