Description for The Hadley Circulation. Present, Past and Future.
Hardback. Examines potentially important factors that may have affected the Hadley and Walker Circulations and evaluates changes in the Hadley Circulation and the monsoons as simulated by coupled models of past climate conditions, and predicted future conditions under an enhanced greenhouse effect. Editor(s): Diaz, Henry F.; Bradley, Raymond S. Series: Advances in Global Change Research. Num Pages: 511 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1050.
Climate dynamicists generally characterize the Hadley circulation in terms of some derived meteorological parameters, such as the mass stream function (the nondivergent part of the flow) or the velocity potential (the divergent circulation), both of which are based on measurements of the three-dimensional wind field. Yet, we know very little about how such in- ces have varied in the past—beyond the most recent decades. Paleocli- tologists are unable to reconstruct such indices, so long-term reconstructions of the Hadley circulation must be based on indirect characteristics that can be in some way plausibly linked to the dynamics of the system.

Reviews for The Hadley Circulation. Present, Past and Future.
From the reviews: "This book aims to address the nature and causes of variation in the Hadley circulation … . The great strength of this book lies in the combination of its three parts. It succeeds in combining 17 contributions from authoritative climatologists, palaeoclimatologists and modellers into a coherent volume. … Overall, this is a ... Read more
