The Ferrel cell is the average motion of air in the mid-latitudes. occurs at higher latitudes (between 30 degrees and 60 degrees N and 30 degrees and 60 degrees S.

What is Ferrel cell in geography?

Ferrel cell, model of the mid-latitude segment of Earth's wind circulation, proposed by William Ferrel (1856). In the Ferrel cell, air flows poleward and eastward near the surface and equatorward and westward at higher altitudes; this movement is the reverse of the airflow in the Hadley cell.

Where is the Hadley cell?

Hadley Cells are the low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude. They are responsible for the trade winds in the Tropics and control low-latitude weather patterns.
