The circulation of the atmosphere has profound impact on the lives of citizens of both Canada and the world generally. It knows no human-designated borders, and effects at any one location are intricately entwined with impacts and consequences at other locations. Atmospheric waves play a particularly important role in communicating between different regions of the atmosphere. As examples of long-range interactions, waves generated by flow of air over the Andes Mountains can impact circulation in the stratosphere over the Atlantic Ocean, and Stratospheric jet-stream flows over the Rocky Mountains in North America produce perturbations and Low Pressure Systems which bring severe weather to north-eastern USA and Canada.

大气环流对加拿大和全世界公民的生活都有深远的影响。它不知道人类指定的边界，任何一个地点的影响都与其他地点的影响和后果错综复杂地交织在一起。大气波在大气不同区域之间的通信中起着特别重要的作用。作为长期相互作用的例子，安第斯山脉上空的气流产生的波可影响大西洋上空平流层的环流，北美落基山脉上空的平流层急流产生扰动和低气压系统，给美国东北部和加拿大带来恶劣天气。
