Hadley cells
Figure 4-3 from main textbook
Because the distribution of solar energy varies with the season, the Hadley circulation changes seasonally as the region of maximum heating changes and as the equator-to-pole temperature gradient changes in each hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere summer, for example, the ITCZ moves north of the equator and the area of subsidence migrate northward.
