Observations reveal a poleward expansion of the tropics in recent decades, implying a
potential role of human activity. However, although theory and modelling suggest increasing …

Water vapor is not only Earth's dominant greenhouse gas. Through the release of latent heat
when it condenses, it also plays an active role in dynamic processes that shape the global …

This article discusses the possible response of the large‐scale atmospheric structure to a
warmer climate. Using integrations from the fifth phase of the Coupled Model …

The South Atlantic Subtropical Anticyclone (SASA) is the main feature of the atmospheric
circulation over the South Atlantic Ocean, and its study is of great importance to explain …

The Hadley circulation is one of the most important atmospheric circulations. Widening of the
Hadley circulation has drawn extensive studies in the past decade. The key concern is that …

Previous studies using reanalysis data suggest an intensification and poleward expansion
of the tropical Hadley circulation (HC) throughout the twentieth century, yet the HC …

We survey the basic principles of atmospheric dynamics relevant to explaining existing and
future observations of exoplanets, both gas giant and terrestrial. Given the paucity of data on …

This review provides a comprehensive coverage of changes of the Hadley Cell extent and
their impacts on the weather, climate, and society. The theories predicting the Hadley Cell …
