What Circulation Cell, Wind Belt and pressure system is associated with L.A. (all, some, none?)?
The Hadley cell is dominant at the latitude of L.A. That cell is rising motion near the equator and sinking motion near 30N. The Ferrel cell that has sinking motion around 30N and rising motion around 60N also is an influence, but it’s a much weaker circulation than the Hadley. So the best answer is Hadley cell if you can only pick one. If can pick more than one, use both cells. L.A. is north of the trades. Instead it’s in the ‘mid-latitude westerlies.’ Finally, the “Pacific High” is the pressure system that is most influential on L.A.
