Atmospheric Dynamics and Hadley Cells

Reading

A reading that discusses the use of the law of conservation of angular momentum to explain the extent of Hadley cells.

Students will learn to derive atmospheric dynamics equations for a model of Hadley circulation (based on Farrell’s theory).

Use this tool to help your students find answers to:

  1. According to Farrell’s theory, what factors determine the extent of Hadley cells?
