Fig. 1 Regional diversity of tropical atmospheric meridional circulation across longitudes, was distinguished by climatology of vertical shear of meridional wind (V200-V850), with Hadleywise RMC reinforcing Hadley circulation (red solid lines) and anti-Hadleywise weakening of Hadley circulation (blue dashed lines). The dotted areas indicate global monsoon domains associated with diabatic heating over monsoon regions (shaded).
