An Analysis of the Effect of Topography on the Martian Hadley Cells

Previous work with Mars general circulation models (MGCMs) has shown that the north–south slope in Martian topography causes asymmetries in the Hadley cells at equinox and in the annual average. To quantitatively solve for the latitude of the dividing streamline and poleward boundaries of the cells,...
