چکیده
[1] In the paper ‘‘Single-layer axisymmetric model for a Hadley circulation with parameterized eddy momentum forcing’’ by Adam H. Sobel and Tapio Schneider (Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 1, 10, doi:10.3894/ JAMES.2009.1.10., 2009) [hereinafter referred to as SS09], we presented an axisymmetric single-layer model for Hadley circulations with parameterized eddy momentum fluxes. Results from this model were compared to results from the idealized general circulation model (GCM) of Schneider and Bordoni [2008]. Our axisymmetric model, as implemented in most of the paper, contained two errors. We correct these here.

Single-layer axisymmetric model for a Hadley circulation with parameterized eddy momentum forcing
An axisymmetric single-layer model is used to study interactions of the Hadley circulation with extratropical eddies. Eddy momentum fluxes are parameterized using a simple closure motivated by calculations with an idealized dry general circulation model (GCM). Calculations are performed in which the heating is parameterized as Newtonian relaxation of temperatures toward a prescribed radiative-c...
متن کاملRegime Transitions of Steady and Time-Dependent Hadley Circulations: Comparison of Axisymmetric and Eddy-Permitting Simulations
Steady-state and time-dependent Hadley circulations are investigated with an idealized dry GCM, in which thermal forcing is represented as relaxation of temperatures toward a radiative-equilibrium state. The latitude f0 of maximum radiative-equilibrium temperature is progressively displaced off the equator or varied in time to study how the Hadley circulation responds to seasonally varying forc...
متن کاملWind–Evaporation Feedback and Abrupt Seasonal Transitions of Weak, Axisymmetric Hadley Circulations
For an imposed thermal forcing localized off the equator, it is known that conservation of absolute angular momentum in axisymmetric flow produces a nonlinear response once the forcing exceeds a critical amplitude. It is shown here that, for a moist atmosphere in convective quasi-equilibrium, the combination of wind-dependent ocean surface enthalpy fluxes and zonal momentum advection can provid...
متن کاملWind–Evaporation Feedback and the Axisymmetric Transition to Angular Momentum–Conserving Hadley Flow
The effect of wind-induced surface heat exchange (WISHE) on axisymmetric, solstitial Hadley circulations is examined for forcings strong enough to produce meridional flow that nearly conserves absolute angular momentum in the free troposphere. Such forcings are known to produce an off-equatorial ascent zone in the summer hemisphere where the convergence of zonal momentum is balanced by drag on ...
متن کاملResponse of idealized Hadley circulations to seasonally varying heating
[1] The response of Hadley circulations to displacements of the latitude of maximum heating is investigated in idealized axisymmetric and eddy-permitting models. Consistent with an earlier study and with theory for the nearly inviscid limit (Lindzen and Hou, 1988), the strength of the Hadley circulation is sensitive to displacements of heating: the winter cell strengthens and summer cell weaken...
