Sentences with phrase «atmospheric circulation cell»

Not exact matches

For example, in Earth atmospheric circulation (such as Hadley cells) transport heat between the warmer equatorial regions to the cool polar regions and this circulation pattern not only determines the temperature distribution, but also sets which regions on Earth are dry or rainy and how clouds form over the planet.

Specifically, they looked at the Hadley cell, one of the planet's most powerful atmospheric circulation patterns, driving weather in the tropics and subtropics.

Includes detailed information on the characteristics of the atmosphere, factors affecting wind, global atmospheric circulation systems, global pressure patterns and Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cells.

On global vs. local, how about the global model prediction of a deepening and widening of the tropical atmospheric circulation, which leads to the Hadley cell expansion and the projection of the dry zones expanding polewards.

Here we are talking about modification of atmospheric circulation — poleward expansion of the dry, descending portion of the Hadley Cell circulation by a few degrees, associated shifts in the jet stream.

1) It seems to me that the key mechanism for any impact must be the changes that increased arctic ocean temperatures will impose on the atmospheric circulation feature known as the Polar Cell, and via this on the Ferrel cell which sits over the mid latituCell, and via this on the Ferrel cell which sits over the mid latitucell which sits over the mid latitudes.

Its findings suggest that changing storm patterns and the ensuing droughts are due to a southern shift in the Hadley cell, the large - scale pattern of atmospheric circulation that transports heat from the tropics to the subtropics.

For example, the Hadley cell, the large - scale pattern of atmospheric circulation that transports heat from the tropics to the subtropics, has marched south during recent decades, moving the subtropical dry zone (a band that receives little rainfall) along with it.

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).

Named after him, the Hadley cell is the only portion of the atmospheric circulation we understood in concept for 250 years.

The large scale atmospheric circulation «cells» shift polewards in warmer periods (for example, interglacials compared to glacials), but remain largely constant as they are, fundamentally, a property of the Earth's size, rotation rate, heating and atmospheric depth, all of which change little.

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.
