• WATER VAPOR AND THE DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGES (2009, methodology): “…2000]; however, because the Hadley circulation generally does not approach the angular momentum–conserving limit, the resulting expression does not accurately account for changes in the width, even in dry GCM simulations [Walker and Schneider, 2006; Schneider, 2006; Korty and Schneider, 2008].”
• Impact of stratospheric ozone on Southern Hemisphere circulation change: A multimodel assessment (2010, background): “It is well established that the width of the Hadley cell is strongly influenced by baroclinic eddies [ Held and Phillipps , 1990; Kim and Lee , 2001; Walker and Schneider , 2006].”
• The relationship between the ITCZ and the Southern Hemispheric eddy‐driven jet (2013, background): “Extratropical eddies, via their fluxes of heat and momentum, have been shown to influence the Hadley circulation both in terms of strength and meridional extent [e.g., Walker and Schneider, 2006; Caballero, 2007; Kang and Polvani, 2011; Ceppi and Hartmann, 2013].”
• Responses of midlatitude blocks and wave amplitude to changes in the meridional temperature gradient in an idealized dry GCM (2014, methodology): “…reasonable mean and low-frequency properties of the atmospheric circulation [Held and Suarez, 1994; Gerber et al., 2008] and has been used to study various aspects of large-scale dynamics [e.g., Polvani and Kushner, 2002; Walker and Schneider, 2006; Butler et al., 2010; Kidston and Vallis, 2010].”
• Energetic Constraints on the Position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (2013, background): “Answering that question requires consideration of the angular momentum balance of the atmosphere and how it controls the circulations that accomplish the atmospheric energy transport (e.g., Walker and Schneider 2006; Schneider 2006; Schneider et al. 2010; Levine and Schneider 2011).”
• Width of the Hadley cell in simple and comprehensive general circulation models (2007, background): “idealized dry simulations in the study of Walker and Schneider [2006]. Idealized moist simulations also show a poleward shift of the storm tracks with increased moisture”
• Expansion of the Hadley Cell under Global Warming: Winter versus Summer (2012, unknown): “To distinguish the contrasting dynamical regimes between the winter and summer cells, Walker and Schneider (2006) where z is zonal-mean relative vorticity, f is planetary vorticity, u is the zonal-mean zonal wind, and V is the earth’s angular velocity.”
• The Hadley Circulation in Reanalyses: Climatology, Variability, and Change (2013, background): “Various theoretical studies of the HC (e.g., Walker and Schneider 2006; Schneider 2006; Frierson et al. 2007; Lu et al. 2009) suggest that the width scales with a variety of parameters, including the broad-scale static stability, the height of the tropopause (tropical or extratropical), and/or the…”
• Expansion of the Hadley cell under global warming (2007, background): “…GHG is complex, as the HC is influenced by many factors, involving tropical heating processes [e.g., Mitas and Clement, 2006], the atmospheric stability [e.g., Schneider, 1977], extra-tropical eddy dynamics [e.g., Walker and Schneider, 2006], and total atmospheric moisture [Frierson et al., 2006].”
• Formation of Jets and Equatorial Superrotation on Jupiter (2008, methodology): “The statistics are first computed on the GCM’s σ surfaces, with the appropriate surface pressure-weighting of the averages (e.g., Walker and Schneider 2006), and are then interpolated to pressure surfaces for display purposes.”
• A Lagrangian Climatology of Tropical Moisture Exports to the Northern Hemispheric Extratropics (2009, background): “sulting meridional mass streamfunction indicates a direct circulation from the tropics into high latitudes aloft (Walker and Schneider 2006; Pauluis et al. 2008).”
• Stratospheric Ozone Depletion: The Main Driver of Twentieth-Century Atmospheric Circulation Changes in the Southern Hemisphere (2011, background): “This is rather surprising, given our current understanding of the interplay between the Hadley cell and the midlatitude, eddy-driven jet (Walker and Schneider 2006; Schneider and Bordoni 2008).”
• Response of the large‐scale structure of the atmosphere to global warming (2015, background): “…fluxes are non-negligible in the Subtropics (Peixoto and Oort, 1992) and certainly affect the strength and extent of the Hadley Cell, at least in models (Schneider, 2006; Walker and Schneider, 2006; Vallis, 2006); without baroclinic eddies the Hadley Cell would be much weaker and somewhat wider.”
