Thermally Direct Cells (Hadley and Polar Cells)
|
|
|
Both cells have their
rising branches over warm
|
|
|
|
temperature zones and sinking braches over the cold
|
|
|
|
temperature zone. Both cells directly convert thermal
|
|
|
|
energy to kinetic energy.

q |
Thermally Indirect Cell (Ferrel Cell)
|
|
|
This cell rises over cold
temperature zone and sinks over
|
|
|
|
warm temperature zone. The cell is not driven by thermal
|
|
|
forcing but driven by eddy (weather systems) forcing.
