THE THREE CELL MODEL;-FORMATION OF THE HADLEY CELL (1) ATMOSPHERE CELLS AND HEAT TRANSFER THE THREE CELL MODEL;-FORMATION OF THE HADLEY CELL (1) Insolation in tropical areas causes warm air to rise and spread polewards, carrying heat energy. SOLAR ENERY INSOLATION

FORMATION OF THE HADLEY CELL (2) ATMOSPHERE FORMATION OF THE HADLEY CELL (2) Air cools and begins to fall at about 30ºN and 30ºS of Equator. Cooled air returns to the Equator. NORTHERN HADLEY CELL. SOLAR ENERGY Heat energy is therefore transferred from the Equator to sub-tropical latitudes. SOUTHERN HADLEY CELL.

FORMATION OF THE POLAR CELL (1) ATMOSPHERE FORMATION OF THE POLAR CELL (1) Intensely cold, dense air sinks at the poles, then blows as surface winds towards the Equator.

FORMATION OF THE POLAR CELL (2) ATMOSPHERE FORMATION OF THE POLAR CELL (2) At about 60ºN and 60 ºS, the cold polar air is warmed in contact with the earth’s surface. NORTHERN POLAR CELLS. SOUTHERN POLAR CELLS. This warmed air rises and returns polewards, carrying heat energy. This circular motion is called the POLAR CELL.

FORMATION OF THE FERREL CELL ATMOSPHERE FORMATION OF THE FERREL CELL Unlike the Hadley and Polar Cells, the Ferrel Cell is not driven by differences in heat energy. The Ferrel Cell is caused by friction where air is in contact with the other two cells. (The Hadley Cell drags air down at about 30ºN and S. The Polar Cell causes an uplift at about 60ºN and S. )

THE THREE CELLS TOGETHER ATMOSPHERE Polar Cell THE THREE CELLS TOGETHER Ferrel Cell Hadley Cell Hadley Cell Ferrel Cell Polar Cell

ASSOCIATED PRESSURE BELTS ATMOSPHERE ASSOCIATED PRESSURE BELTS Rising air at the equator causes the equatorial belt of low pressure Polar high pressure Mid latitude low pressure Descending air at about 30ºN and 30ºS causes the sub-tropical belt of high pressure Sub-tropical high pressure Equatorial low pressure Rising air at about 60ºN and 60ºS causes a mid-latitude belt of low pressure Sub-tropical high pressure Mid latitude low pressure Descending air at the poles causes the polar high pressure areas Polar high pressure

ASSOCIATED SURFACE WIND PATTERNS ATMOSPHERE ASSOCIATED SURFACE WIND PATTERNS Winds always blow from high pressure to low pressure. They are deflected because of the Coriolis Force which come about because of the rotation of the earth. ( see later slide) Polar high pressure Mid latitude low pressure Sub-tropical high pressure Winds in Northern Hemisphere are deflected to the right. Equatorial low pressure Winds in the southern hemisphere are deflected to the left. Sub-tropical high pressure Mid latitude low pressure These wind belts shift seasonally. (See next section) Polar high pressure

Rossby waves and the Jet Stream ATMOSPHERE Rossby waves and the Jet Stream Not far above our heads in the northern UK is where the Ferrel and Polar cells meet. Here is where powerful waves of turbulence occur called Rossby waves. This turbulence is mainly responsible for the series of depressions and anticyclones that happen over Britain.
