In some places the layers curl up and mix; in other places they do not. Through the layers mighty rivers stream on largely unknown courses, often flowing in opposite directions close to one another. Exploration of this huge anatomy is just beginning. Realizing ever more clearly that most weather originates over the oceans, meteorologists are studying its mighty motions as the key to the world's climate. A change...
