Which quantity is used to measure the strength of the Hadley circulation?
Answer: A
The mass flux of the meridional overturning is expressed as a streamfunction in the latitude-height plane, whose maximum value gives the strength of the cell in units of kilograms per second. Typical winter values reach about \( 2 \times 10^{11} \) kilograms per second. Velocity potential describes the divergent circulation in the horizontal, and precipitation and pressure differences are indirect indicators at best. A limit that survives making every external component ideal is an intrinsic one, and worth knowing for that reason.
