Errata to 219.

My post gives the false impression that I invented the equatorial circulation described. What I described and relied on is the Hadley Cell, which rises as described, and on the downslope directly feeds if not causes the Hawaii-bound northeast trade winds. These effects are well-known.

What may be novel is that climatologists have yet to recognize that this circulation causes Hawaii to be in the corkscrew chimney of the huge outgassing from the eastern Equatorial Pacific.

Thanks for the update. There are lots of references to Hadley cell and other large scale atmospheric and oceanic circulations in the climate literature. What they typically don't describe is the role that these circulations play in the distribution of CO2. Instead the literature and models mostly assume an even distribution of CO2. I think your analysis is a better match to reality and I'll look for some oceanic CO2 measurement data that might help back it up.
