Secondary circulation refers to smaller scale atmospheric processes that occur within larger general circulation patterns. Migratory high and low pressure systems are a good example of this, as they are smaller scale features that move within the larger scale general circulation of the atmosphere. The other options are either part of the general circulation (C) or examples of localized wind patterns (D and E).
