| Oct 29, 2022 at 14:25 | comment | added | Uriel | @Palarran The initial Hadley theory (north-south air circulation) did not consider rotation and the Coriolis forces (see britannica.com/science/Hadley-cell, but other sources claim the opposite). It proposed only a single big cell per hemisphere, which is not observed. Ferrel proposed a more adapted model, giving its name to cells beyond the first one. | |

Spin fast enough, and you form a second set of the cells in each hemisphere; size isn't relevant to the problem, if I recall correctly. | |
