Toward a unified theory for the Hadley cell descending and ascending edges

Spencer A. Hill, Simona Bordoni, Jonathan L. Mitchell

We present theories for the latitudinal extents of both Hadley cells throughout the annual cycle by combining our recent scaling for the ascending edge latitude (Hill et al. 2021)…

On the all-India rainfall index and sub-India rainfall heterogeneity

Spencer A Hill, Adam H Sobel, Michela Biasutti +1

We revisit long-standing controversies regarding relationships among the all-India rainfall index (AIRI), sub-India summer rainfall variations, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO),…

Symmetric and antisymmetric components of polar-amplified warming

Spencer A. Hill, Natalie J. Burls, Alexey Fedorov +1

CO-forced surface warming in general circulation models (GCMs) is initially polar-amplified in the Arctic but not Antarctic -- a largely hemispherically antisymmetric signal. N…

Solsticial Hadley Cell ascending edge theory from supercriticality

Spencer A. Hill, Simona Bordoni, Jonathan L. Mitchell

How far the Hadley circulation's ascending branch extends into the summer hemisphere is a fundamental but incompletely understood characteristic of Earth's climate. Here, we presen…

Constraints from invariant subtropical vertical velocities on the scalings of Hadley cell strength and downdraft width with rotation rate

Jonathan L. Mitchell, Spencer A. Hill

Weak-temperature-gradient influences from the tropics and quasigeostrophic influences from the extratropics plausibly constrain the subtropical-mean static stability in terrestrial…

Axisymmetric constraints on cross-equatorial Hadley cell extent

Spencer Hill, Simona Bordoni, Jonathan L. Mitchell

We consider the relevance of known constraints from each of Hide's theorem, the angular momentum conserving (AMC) model, and the equal-area model on the extent of cross-equatorial…

Gravity-driven thin-film flow with negatively buoyant particles

A. Mavromoustaki, P. David, S. Hill +4

This arXiv article describes the fluid dynamics video on `Gravity-driven thin-film flow with negatively buoyant particles', presented at the 64th Annual Meeting of the APS Division…
