Thermal Convection in the North Pacific High Pressure Cell

Abstract

If it is accepted that thermal convection consistently takes place inside the North Pacific High, as proposed here, then the existence of the NPH, as well as its seasonal variation, will be explained simultaneously, building on an earlier attempt. More observations than available at present would help prove that thermal convection happens and pin down its characteristics, since it is not visible. Also the physics of how thermal convection produces relatively high pressure at sea level needs work.
