The Hadley Cell begins near the equator and moves air toward mid-latitudes near the mid-latitudes and moves air toward equator at the arctic and moves air circumpolar at the Coriolis force and causes Ekman gyres

Hadley Cells are the low-latitude overturning circulations that have air rising at the equator and air sinking at roughly 30° latitude. The Hadley cell is a closed circulation loop which begins at the equator. There, moist air is warmed by the Earth's surface, decreases in density and rises.
