They are two of six major
air circulation cells on Earth.

Most foam crib mattresses have only a very small degree of breathability, but Colgate uses high quality, open
cell foam and PE foam engineered with
air channels to enhance
circulation.
According to the three researchers, ENSO - related warming during El Niño conditions is caused by a stronger Hadley
Cell circulation moving warm tropical
air into the mid-latitudes.
A bamboo
celling fan revolves above to maintain
air circulation and a comfortable temperature.
Whereas the Walker
Circulation (or «Walker
Cell») refers to an
air flow parallel with the equator — all in the tropics — the Hadley
Cell involves
air rising in the tropics (follows the solar equator and gives rise to the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) which then flows polewards before sinking in the subtropics.
I suggest the slowing of Hadley
cell circulation caused by weaker differential temperatures between major
air masses, this will cause all the phenomenas cited.
This leads to more heat transport to the poles, as well as via
air (increased Hadley
cell circulation) as via sea currents.
In 1856, William Ferrel proposed the existence of a
circulation cell in the mid-latitudes with
air being deflected by the Coriolis force to create the prevailing westerly winds.
Warm the
air at its entry point into this high pressure
cell and you will stall the
circulation.
The ITCZ is located at the ascending branch of the Hadley
cell, an atmospheric
circulation associated with rising
air near the equator and descending
air in subtropical regions (see Fig. 2 for a schematic).
Furthermore warm ocean surfaces really do send the
air circulation systems poleward whilst changes in the intensity of the polar high pressure
cells work in opposition to those oceanic effects.
the el nino
circulation is so clearly right on the equator... and discussion of
air mass
cells and oscillations and cyclones, and monsoons and jet streams — all this really needs to be animated to make sense.
showing how EM radiation, heat and
air / water kinetic energy (in
cells,
circulations, currents, weather systems and convection columns and so on) move and how long they have to move before they reach some kind of equilibrium would go some way to visualising why it takes time for the earth system to respond to radiative forcing (commitment time lag).
Convection is characterized by a
circulation pattern of rising and sinking
air masses, and the atmospheric vertical volume transport takes place through
cells of updraft and subsidence; however, these may not be coherent or stable in time and space.
The observed
circulation changes are in the form of a series of high - and low - pressure
cells that follow an arcing path in the
air from the tropical Pacific to West Antarctica.
