Average vertical velocity (in pascals per second) at the 500 hPa pressure height in July from 1979–2001. Ascent (negative values) is concentrated close to the solar equator while descent (positive values) is more diffuse; their distribution is an imprint of the ascending and descending branches of the Hadley circulation.
