This re-instated what passes for faith in humanity

No sir, you depict weather incompletely.  You neglect convection, or perhaps I should say convective heat transfer.  Airmass movement, the most significant form of weather, is a macro level turbulent convection that runs 24/7.  Airmass movement is a function of solar heating and earth radiation/reflection, friction between the gas blanket around earth, Coreolis effect, and the 0-30-60 High and Low airmass generation. 
Why would you get high and low pressure zones within a torous that always faces the sun?  How is night created, and hence heating and cooling?  A ring world, by geometry, is terminal daylight, with the only interruption being cloud cover . . . or is there an internal semi ring constructed to block sun's radiation for 1/2 the day?

Obviously, I need to read Ring World to get a sense of what's going on here.

Yes, there is another set of orbiting flat plates to block out the sun during the night cycle.
