Pressure pattern drive wind pattern which in turns drives oceanic pattern.

Between the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere there is a differentiated warming because of the specific heat changes between these two regions. This can cause a decrease in pressure in the southern hemisphere during the summer and part of the spring, causing a strong pressure gradient in relation to the ocean in this region. This may be able to cause a strong release of latent heat in relation to a concentration of cooled air in the region of the oceans.

When a pressure gradient is established in the hemisphere, the wind begins to dissipate, at high speed, from the regions with the highest pressure values ​​to the regions with the lowest pressure values, however, once the pressure gradient no longer exists, the wind speed will assume constant values.
