Kindly note on this satellite of the "Western Pacific" that the 'aire masse' at the equator is actually 'trailing off' to the south. That is astounding. It also takes a great deal of turbulence by an ionized tropospheric vortex to achieve the diversion of all that air NORMALLy found only at the equator of the planet, Earth.
