zonal
This term describes a structural division of space into distinct, often functional or environmental belts. It carries a technical and clinical tone, frequently appearing in urban planning, meteorology, and geography to denote a systematic partitioning of a larger area into specific sectors.
In atmospheric science, the word specifically evokes the image of longitudinal bands, such as the alternating stripes of clouds and wind patterns on Jupiter or Earth. It differs from regional in that it implies a more rigid, geometric, or scientific classification rather than a general cultural or geographic area.
