Abstract

We shall begin this text with a zonal-time averaged representation of the tropical atmosphere. These are height (or pressure)-time diagrams that illustrate several simplified climatological features of the tropical atmosphere such as the zonal wind, temperature, moisture (specific humidity) and the mean meridional circulation, i.e., the Hadley cell.
