		This cell, however, was to transport air in the opposite direction of the Hadley cell.
		It may seem odd that the Ferrel cell acts in the opposite direction of the Hadley and Polar cells, but there is an inherent difference in their origins: while the Hadley and Polar cells are thermally driven, the Ferrel cell is driven by baroclinic eddies (small deviations from the average flow).
		In the Hadley cells and Polar cells, where surface circulation is equatorward, winds blow west—these are the “trade winds”; and the “polar easterlies” (coming from the east, flowing to the west), respectively.

	Hadley Cell - MSN Encarta
		The Hadley cell, together with the Ferrel cell and the polar cell, explain how excess heat, or energy, is moved from the equatorial regions poleward by the various wind systems.
		The Hadley Cells are modified particularly in the equatorial Pacific Ocean because of the sea surface temperature difference between the cold water near South America and the warm waters east of Australia.
		Instead it flows westward at the surface between the Hadley cells of the two hemispheres before rising over the warmer water near 170°E and returning in the upper troposphere towards South America.

	Wind cells - Kitesurf Wiki - A Wikia wiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The wind belts and the jet streams girdling the planet are steered by three cells: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell, and the Polar cell (the interpretation of the latter two is complex).
		The Hadley cell and the Polar cell are similar in that they are thermally direct; in other words, they exist as a direct consequence of surface temperatures as well; their thermal characteristics override the effects of weather in their domain.
		The sheer volume of energy the Hadley cell transports, and the depth of the heat sink that is the Polar cell ensures, that the effects of transient weather phenomena are not only not felt by the system as a whole, but — except under unusual circumstances — are not even permitted to form.

		George Hadley proposed the existence of a global pattern of air circulation powered by the strong temperature differentials between the equator and cooler regions in the North and South.
		The reverse of the Hadley cell is known as the Ferrel cell and was suggested in 1882 by William Ferrel, an American meteorologist.
		In the Ferrel cell, air flows poleward and eastward near the surface, and at higher altitudes the air moves toward the equator and westward.

	George Hadley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hadley was intrigued by the fact that winds which should by all rights have blown straight north had a pronounced westerly flow, and it was this mystery he set out to solve.
		Hadley was born in London, England to Katherine FitzJames and George Hadley.
		Hadley was elected a Royal Fellow in 1745 and died in 1768.

		This is often called the "one-cell" model because it comprises just one thermal circulation cell in each hemisphere: rising motions at the equator, poleward transport in the upper troposphere, sinking motion near the poles, and a return flow to the equator at the surface.
		The number of cells is a function of the Earth's rotation rate and the energy gradient from equator to pole.
		In contrast to the Hadley and polar cells, the middle cell is believed to be an indirect circulation.

	Global Wind Systems
		The picture painted by Hadley about the origin of the trade winds had a major flaw: He missed the fact that latent heat is brought toward the equator by the converging trade winds.
		Note: The Hadley cell extends from the equator to about 30 degrees N and S latitude, the Ferrel cell extends from about 30 to 60 degrees N and S latitude and the Polar cell extends from 60 degrees latitude to the poles (90 degrees N and S latitude).
		After the Hadley Cell, we have to consider "Ferrel Cells." Ferrel Cells connect sinking air in the arid zone to the westerlies poleward of the arid zone.

		Components pins are packed so closely together in a modern cell phone that even a small encrustation can create a short, rendering the phone inoperable.
		Be warned that manufacturers place stickers that will display "void" once peeled and some will change colors in the presence of a liquid (usually turns blue or red).
		Cell phones are normally somewhat water proof so they can be used in the light rain and humid environments.

	General Circulation
		The worldwide system of winds, which transports warm air from the equator where solar heating is greatest towards the higher latitudes, is called the general circulation of the atmosphere, and it gives rise to the Earth's climate zones.
		The general circulation of air is broken up into a number of cells, the most common of which is called the Hadley cell.
		Although the physical reality of Hadley Cells has been questioned, they provide an excellent means for describing the way in which heat is transported across the Earth by the movement of air.

	Hadley Circulation -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy
		Convection currents create four Hadley cells on a rotating planet which are characterized by strong prograde flow near the surface at high latitudes and retrograde flow near the surface at low latitudes.
		An intermediate cell called the Ferrel cell forms at the mid-latitudes to balance the transport by the Hadley and polar cells.
		The latitudes where the Hadley and Ferrel cells meet are called the horse latitudes.

	Air Circulation
		The Hadley cell is the strongest of the three cells of circulation and is formed as warm air rises above the Equator and starts to flow northward.
		The mid-latitude circulation cell between the Polar cell and the Hadley cell is called the Ferrel cell.
		Unlike the other two cells, where the upper and low-level flows are reversed, a generally westerly flow dominates the Ferrel cell at the surface and aloft.

	Wind Belts
		These cells are called the Hadley cell, the Ferrell cell and the Polar cell.
		This is the cell that is closest to the equator.
		This cell has winds sinking at 30 degrees latitude and then traveling pole-ward as they hit the ground and diverge with winds from the Hadley Cell.

	Hadley Cell and the Trade Winds
		The three primary circulation cells are known as the: Hadley cell; Ferrel cell; and Polar cell.
		The Hadley cell eventually returns air to the surface of the earth, near 30 deg N and S. Fig.
		The descending portion of the Hadley Cell produces a band of high air pressure at these latitudes called the subtropical high.

	Climate
		This idea was first suggested in 1735 by an English scientist called George Hadley and this type of flow pattern is called a Hadley cell.
		According to Hadley, one cell would occupy the Northern Hemisphere and one the Southern Hemisphere neatly covering the whole world.
		First, in tropical areas, there is a system of two Hadley cells, one in the north and one in the south.But they are smaller than Hadley originally thought.

	ch8_Global Air Circulation
		Of course the earth does rotate once on its axis each day and the resulting Coriolis effect causes the meridional flow to be disrupted as winds are deflected to the right of their course in the northern hemisphere and to the left of their course in the southern hemisphere.
		Hadley Cell: Warm air converges on the equator and rises, forming a belt of low pressure (equatorial low).
		Circulation in these cells results from the air flowing toward the poles from the subtropical highs which collides with cold air flowing from the Poles.

	Global Wind Systems
		The trade winds are part of a circulation of air, a "cell" when seen in profile, which starts with rising air in the tropics.
		Hadley realized that wind particles moving toward the equator would come from a region of lower eastward velocity and enter a region of higher eastward velocity as they moved toward the equator.
		Thus, Hadley had it right, but we now credit Coriolis for the description of how the winds bend toward the west of their path when they move toward the equator.

	Weather
		Between the Polar and Ferrel Cells, the air is rising, atmospheric pressure is low, and the climate tends to be wet.
		The various circulation cells are (from equator to pole): the Hadley Cell (0°-30°); the Ferrel Cell (30°-60°); and the Polar Cell (60°-90°).
		Within the "Horse Latitudes," between the Ferrel and Hadley Cells, the air is sinking, atmospheric pressure is high, and the climate tends to be dry.

	Ocean Surface Topography from Space-Overview
		A similar cell forms between the horse latitudes and the stormy polar fronts at 60° N and 60° S, where warm temperate air moving polewards meets very cold air rolling down from the pole.
		Thus, six belt-like Hadley Cells circulate air from pole to pole and establish patterns of climate over the planet.
		The cells are also characterized by specific patterns of wind flow, a function of the Coriolis force generated by the spin of the Earth.

		The differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun produces warm temperpatures in the tropics and cold temperatures in the polar regions.
		A global-scale thermal circulation cell will develop, with the surface wind going directly from the pole to the equator, rising air at the Equator, sinking air at each pole (there will be a mirror image of the circulation cell in each hemisphere), and poleward return flow aloft.
		Since this is not happening, the single Hadley Cell flow model is not a representation of the current global circulation.

		The goal of this study is to analyze the latitudinal extent of the tropical Hadley cell by determining the position of the steep gradient between the high tropical and low extratropical tropopause.
		The importance of the Hadley cell for climate raises the question how well this trend is captured by model simulations of perturbed climates.
		Based on an analysis of tropopause heights, we propose to analyze the latitudinal position of the Hadley cell from the latest IPCC simulations.

		Hadley also envisioned an "antitrade" wind that blew to the northeast above the surface southeast trades and determined that the mid-latitude westerly got their eastward velocity from sinking dense and fast air from aloft.
		Although Hadley understood about the Coriolis acceleration, his idea (along with Halleys) about one cell in each of the hemispheres was not correct.
		The area where both Hadley Cells met along the equator was a region of large instability and created large convective clouds.

	ENSO - The Atmosphere
		As the flow around the tropical cell descends near 300 and moves equatorward, it is turned to the right in the northern hemisphere (to the left in the southern) resulting in what we call the east or northeast tradewinds in the northern hemisphere, and the east or southheast tradewinds in the southern hemisphere.
		The zonal Walker Cell can be thought of as being super-imposed upon the meridional flowing Hadley Cell.
		As it then rises in the Western Pacific and is turned to the east by the Coriolis Force, and moves poleward, it acquires an increasing westerly wind component, resulting in the subtropical jet stream located at the poleward boundary of the tropical Hadley Cell.
