In contrast, the mean state of the tropics is a poor predictor of both the ratio of observed trends in reanalyses and the ratio of modeled externally forced shifts. These are particularly associated with the ITCZs staying north of the equator and with mean westerlies in the equatorial regions of the E Pacific and Atlantic in December to February.

These limita-tions are further compounded when taking into account the tendency of current width metrics to sample single levels of the atmosphere without considering how the The Hadley cell is a âthermally directâ circulation, meaning that rising motion is associated with relatively warmer parcels, and sinking motion with relatively cold parcels. Its descending branch determines the location of the large-scale subtropical dry zone and its ascending branch determines the location of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Hadley Cells are the low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude.

It consists of a single wind system in each hemisphere, with westward and equatorward flow near the surface and eastward and poleward flow at higher altitudes. The theory of Hadley cell emergence is addressed in Section 2 and of extent in Section 3, the latter also dis-cussing controls on the locations of the ascent branch.
