ABSTRACT Both the ECMWF and the NCEP–NCAR reanalyses show a strengthening of the atmospheric Hadley circulation in boreal winter over the last 50 years, but the intensification is much stronger in the ...

The Hadley circulation, a fundamental component of Earth's atmospheric system, plays a crucial role in global climate regulation by transporting energy and moisture between the tropics and higher ...

ABSTRACT A detailed vertically integrated atmospheric heat and energy budget is presented along with estimated heat budgets at the surface and top-of-atmosphere for the subtropics. It is shown that ...

Hadley circulation is one of the most prominent atmospheric overturning circulations and its descending branches correspond to the world's desert regions. Much attention has been paid on validating ...

For decades, scientists studying a key climate phenomenon have been grappling with contradictory data that have threated to undermine confidence in the reliability of climate models overall. A new ...

Fig. 1: A map of Earth showing the global cloud cover on July 11, 2005, based largely on observations by the MODIS sensor on the NASA Terra satellite. The interaction between atmospheric circulation ...

The continuous monitoring of Titan’s atmosphere by the Cassini mission, which has been exploring the Saturnian system since July 2004, is starting to reveal seasonal changes in the atmospheric ...

In this week’s Sunday Science Tidbit, let’s explore global circulation patterns. Thanks to the fact the Earth has water and land, spins around, and is tilted 23.5°, forces like the Corilolis force ...

The interaction between atmospheric circulation in the tropics and sub-tropics and cloud structure is highly correlated. Interestingly, changes in the circulation and the consequent shifts of cloud ...
