Abstract: A steady,shallow water atmospheric model is used to study the relationship between the structures of Walker and Hadley circulation in the tropic atmosphere and the scale of ocean heating.It is showed that the structure of vertical cell depends on the oceanic heating scale.When a is larger than α0 (ε) (that is,the small scale),results are similar to Gill (1980) ones.Whereas a is smaller than α0 (ε),a Hadley cell exists in the entire heating region.An anti-Hadley circulation which appears in the area of Kelvin wave will move eastward for a long distance,i.e.10 units of Rossby deformation radius.In the last case,a larger scale Hadley cell can transfer a lot of heating and energy to extratropical and midlatitude regions.This causes the atmospheric circulation there to be anomalous.The results are coherent with statistical facts,and in theoretically support the teleconnection phenomena which Beierknes put forward in 1960's.
