Observed poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation since 1979
Using three meteorological reanalyses and three outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) datasets, we show that the Hadley circulation has a significant expansion of about 2 to 4.5 degrees of latitude since 1979. The three reanalyses all indicate that the poleward expansion of the Hadley circulation in each hemisphere occurs during its summer and fall seasons. Results from the OLR datasets do not hav...
متن کاملModel simulation of the cretaceous ocean circulation.
Three-dimensional numerical ocean circulation model experiments that were designed to evaluate the circulation characteristics for the mid-Cretaceous ( approximately 100 million years ago) show that the primary direction of flow through the Tethys Ocean was eastward; in contrast, a westward flowing circumglobal Tethys current has been a consistent feature of earlier reconstructions of Cretaceou...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Global Surveys of High, Mid, and Low Clouds from Satellites and General Circulation Models
Understanding cloud vertical structure is crucial for climate studies due to its impact on both the magnitude and sign of net cloud radiative forcing; for example, low thick clouds like boundary layer stratocumulus have a net cooling effect, but high thin clouds like cirrus have a net warming effect (e.g. Liou 1986; Hartmann et al. 1992). The vertical distribution of clouds also modifies both t...
متن کاملEquilibrium temperature distribution and Hadley circulation in an axisymmetric model
The impact of the equilibrium temperature distribution, θE, on the Hadley circulation simulated by an axisymmetric model is studied. The θE distributions that drive the model are modulated here by two parameters, n and k, the former controlling the horizontal broadness and the latter controlling the vertical stratification of θE. In the present study, variations in the θE distribution mimic cha...
متن کاملDiversity Patterns in Mid-cretaceous Benthic Foraminifers and Dasycladalean Algae Diversity Patterns in Mid-cretaceous Benthic Foraminifers and Dasycladalean Algae of the Southern Part of the Mesozoic Adriatic Platform, Croatia
The Mesozoic, mid-Cretaceous (Barremian to Cenomanian) deposits of southern Croatia comprise a succession of shallow tropical-water, inner-platform deposits that formed on a Bahama-type isolated Adriatic carbonate platform in the Dinarides. This succession is dominated by benthic foraminifers and dasycladalean algae, and is exposed in a nearly continuous outcrop section on the islands and along...
