The Rising Tropopause and Expanding
Hadley Cells
Transcript
of keynote speech by Donald Burfitt-Dons continued
Likely the reason is that there are big changes taking
place in the atmosphere itself.
The tropopause, the layer between the troposphere and
the stratosphere has moved higher by 900 ft and the Hadley Cells have
expanded outwards towards the poles by one degree of latitude, or 60
nautical miles, over the just the last thirty years. The Hadley cells
are where the warm equatorial air rises up, loses it’s moisture
as it cools and then descends, creating the arid bands around the earth.
That change represents a huge volumetric increase in stored heat energy
which has to be recycled to the poles one way or the other.
At GWA we believe that the extra energy being released
now in ETCs is also part of the planets way of redistributing that energy.
