...The Coriolis force acts on this meridional circulation, causing westerly winds to blow in the upper layers and easterly winds to blow in the lower layers. In the first half of the 18th century, George Hadley (1685-1744) attempted to explain the characteristics of the general circulation by assuming the existence of this meridional circulation. His laboratory experimental model using a dish pan showed that if the Earth's rotation speed were slower than it is today, or if the temperature difference between the north and south were not as large as it is today, this one-cell structure of meridional circulation would continue as it is. ... *Some of the terminology that mentions "Hadley, G." is listed below.

…この子午面循環にコリオリの力が働き,上層で西風,下層で東風が吹くようになる。18世紀前半,ハドリーGeorge Hadley(1685‐1744)はこのような子午面循環が存在するとして,大循環の特徴を説明しようとした。もし,地球の自転速度が現在よりも遅いか,あるいは南北の気温差が現在ほど大きくならなければ,この1細胞構造の子午面循環がそのまま持続することが,ディッシュパンを使った室内実験モデルで示されている。… ※「Hadley,G.」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
