This chapter focuses on understanding the trade winds in the tropical Atlantic. A historical approach is taken, starting from ancient Greek and Chinese theories of wind and then discussing various later theories proposed after European exploration of the Atlantic brought the trade winds into focus. The essentially correct description was provided by George Hadley in 1735, based on the concept of momentum conservation. This chapter hence introduces crucial effects of Earth’s rotation on the atmosphere and provides an overview of tropical Atlantic wind patterns.
