Fig. 4

The Earth’s Brewer-Dobson circulation. The Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cells are visible in the figure for both hemispheres. The thick white arrows indicate the transformed Eulerian-mean mass stream function. The wavy orange arrows indicate two-way mixing processes. The thick green lines indicate the presence of stratospheric transport and mixing barriers. (Adapted from Bonisch et al. 2011)
