Climate change speeds up atmospheric rotation
A recent study reveals that global warming accelerates the rotation of the atmosphere compared to Earth's surface, increasing the disparity between air movement and the planet's solid rotation. The study explains that rising temperatures enhance the expansion of the Hadley cell, which functions as a thermal mechanism between the Equator and the subtropical regions, with stronger jet streams and weakened tropical maritime winds. This results in an increase in the angular momentum of the atmosphere and a reduction in its exchange with the Earth's surface, thereby speeding up the movement of air relative to the planet's rotation. The findings confirm that, although this phenomenon is not related to the Moon's influence or Earth's internal processes, it indicates a persistent impact of climate change on atmospheric dynamics.
