How is energy redistributed?  atomsphere does 75% of it (60% by sensible heat, 15% by latent heat) the oceans currents do the other 25%  
Unequal heating creates....  Pressure gradient Force (PGF), which drives wind  
Global Mean Sea Level Pressure is....  1313hPa  
A Hadly cell is....  a convective circulation cell on a non-rotating planet  
Coriolis Force increase...  with latitude  
Hadley cells remain on Earth at....  0 - 35 degrees latitude  
Easterly Trades meet at.....  Intertropical Convergance Zone (ITCZ)  
Rossby Waves are found in.....  Midlatitudes  
High PGF at the polar front means....  strong jets  
Jets at polar front ain't stable because.....  Rossby waves create ridges (highs) and troughs (lows)  
Compared to sea, land....  has a smaller heat capacity, has an opaque surface i.e. land surface temps vary alot more
