Hadley Cell Expansion As global temperatures rise, the temperature difference between the poles and the equator is likely to decrease, expanding the cell of air circulation adjacent to the equator known as the Hadley cell.

Based off of Venus' atmosphere's behavior, Farrell argues that another way to extend the Hadley Cells would be to increase the height of the tropopause. This change would increase the poleward moving air's Rossby number. The Rossby number describes the importance of the Coriolis force in atmospheric dynamics. A higher Rossby number means that the Coriolis force has a smaller impact on a particle, so if the height of the tropopause increased enough, the Rossby number would become high enough to make the Coriolis force negligible.

As a result, particles would not diverge from their path as they moved poleward, and the Hadley Cells would reach the poles. There temperature increases would almost double the static stability at the tropopause.

For the height to increase, the stratosphere would also have to become less stable. If CO 2 concentrations increased and if stratospheric ozone concentrations decreased, the stratosphere would cool substantially, and this change would destabilize the stratosphere.

As a result of the alterations to tropospheric and stratospheric stability, the tropopause height would increase. Farrell estimates the height would have doubled under Cretaceous conditions, and as a result, the Rossby number would have doubled. This change would have allowed the Hadley Cells to extend to the poles and would have made equable climates more likely. Hadley cells could extend all the way to the poles. While each of these alterations to the atmosphere would extend the Hadley Cells, Farrell found that a combination of the two effects was necessary to make his model's results agree with proxy data from equable climates.
