Hadley Cell and a Simple Atmospheric Circulation Model

  • Use a reading that discusses the Hadley Cell in more detail and explains a simple model for the Hadley circulation, using the law of conservation of angular momentum.
  • Explore more about the Hadley Cell and a simple atmospheric circulation model by using the reading "Hadley Cells" from Harvard University.
  • The reading applies the law of conservation of angular momentum to explain a simple model for the Hadley cell and also introduces a possible explanation for equable climates in the past (Cretaceous period).
