On January 10, 2006, astronomers using the infrared Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array announced that Vega rotates so fast (at around 91 percent of its «break - up rate») that it is
cooler as well as 23 percent wider
along its
equator than at its poles due to the gravitational effect of its «middle bulge» (NOAO press release; AAS 207 session summary); and Aufdenberg et al, 2006).
When the Earth begins
cooling unexpectedly, humanity is left with only a few degrees of habitable latitude
along the planet's
equator.
During the second winter, the tropical Pacific
cooling weakens in a narrow band
along the
equator but becomes meridionally broader.
After 30 + million years of
cooling, 2 to 3 million years ago, colder ocean waters eventually upwelled in the mid latitudes
along the west coasts of major continents as well as
along the
equator.
At irregular intervals (roughly every 3 - 6 years), the sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean
along the
equator become warmer or
cooler than normal.
An oblate sphereoid, hmmm, yeah, I think there would likely still be enough surface transport to establish a large scale convective roll with the air rolling north (say) up high, deflecting to spinward as it goes, falling down in a massive spinward spiral,
cooling along the ground and being displaced back to the
equator.
Still no tropospheric hot spot near the
equator, still no pronounced stratospheric
cooling especially near the poles both of which are cornerstones of the global waming models,
along with the more zonal (+ ao) atmospheric circulation pattern.
