Changes in the width of the tropical belt due to simple radiative forcing changes in the GeoMIP simulations
Model simulations of future climates predict a poleward expansion of subtropical arid climates at the edges of Earth's tropical belt, which would have significant environmental and societal impacts. This expansion may be related to the poleward shift of the Hadley cell edges, where subsidenc...
