Abstract
This chapter dwells on the importance of diabatic heating in the deep tropics that acts as a forcing on some of the large-scale circulation features in the tropical and sub-tropical latitudes. First, we begin with the analytical solutions of a simple linearized shallow water model equations following Gill (1980). This work although an idealized modeling study, is highly instructive in understanding the circulation features such as the east–west (Walker) circulation, meridional (Hadley) circulation and easterlies associated with the trade winds. This idealized atmospheric modeling study is often referred as the “Gill” atmosphere.
