Evaluating the Mechanism of Tropical Expansion Using Idealized Numerical Experiments

A wide range of evidence reveals that the tropical belt is expanding. Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to this expansion, some of which even contradict each other. The study of Yang et al. suggests that the poleward advancing mid-latitude meridional temperature gradient (MTG), ori...
