Single-layer Axisymmetric Model for a Hadley Circulation with Parameterized Eddy Momentum Forcing
An axisymmetric single-layer model is used to study interactions of the Hadley circulation with extratropical eddies. Eddy momentum fluxes are parameterized using a simple closure motivated by calculations with an idealized dry general circulation model (GCM). Calculations are performed in which the...
