Question
1.Hadley Cells on Planet Poleonium. Planet Poleonium keeps its north pole pointed towardsits Sun at all times. (Some weird precessional effect.)
a) Ignoring rotation, what Hadley circulation pattern should it set up? Draw a cross-section through the planet, showing the Hadley cell or cells.
b) Now include the planet's rotation. (“north pole” means the planet rotates counter-clockwise from above that pole, like the Earth.) Would the Coriolis force divert the surface winds near the north pole to the west (making winds called “easterlies”) or to the east?
c) Discuss the effects of rotation on the atmosphere's ability to carry heat to the night side.
