George Hadley (12 February 1685 – 28 June 1768) was an English lawyer and amateur meteorologist who proposed the atmospheric mechanism by which the trade winds are sustained, which is now named in his honour as Hadley circulation. As a key factor in ensuring that European sailing vessels reached North American shores, understanding the trade winds was becoming a matter of great importance at the time. Hadley was intrigued by the fact that winds which should by all rights have blown straight north had a pronounced westerly flow, and it was this mystery he set out to solve.

  • George Hadley (Londres, 12 février 1685 - 28 juin 1768) est un avocat et météorologue amateur anglais qui a proposé un modèle de circulation atmosphérique, la cellule de Hadley, qui explique les vents d'est constants dans les tropiques appelés alizés. Ceux-ci revêtaient une importante capitale pour la navigation à voile et la compréhension du phénomène était donc la bienvenue. Il est le frère de l'astronome John Hadley. (fr)
  • George Hadley (Londen, 12 februari 1685 - 28 juni 1768) was een Engels jurist en amateur-meteoroloog. Hij beschreef het atmosferisch mechanisme dat de passaatwinden veroorzaakt en dat naar hem is genoemd als de Hadleycel. Het begrijpen van de passaat was in die tijd een belangrijke factor die verzekerde dat Europese zeilschepen de kust van Noord-Amerika konden bereiken. Hadley was geïntrigeerd door het feit dat winden die gelet op de luchtdruk uit het noorden zouden moeten waaien, in werkelijkheid een noordoost- tot oostenwind zijn. (nl)
  • George Hadley (Londra, 12 febbraio 1685 – Fitton, 28 giugno 1768) è stato un avvocato e fisico inglese e meteorologo dilettante. Propose il meccanismo atmosferico, attraverso il quale sono sostenuti gli alisei, che ora è chiamato in suo onore circolazione di Hadley. Come fattore chiave per garantire che le navi a vela europee raggiungessero le coste nordamericane, la comprensione degli alisei stava diventando una questione di grande importanza in quel tempo. Hadley era incuriosito dal fatto che i venti che avrebbero dovuto soffiare diretti verso nord avevano un pronunciato flusso da ovest, ed era questo mistero che si prefiggeva di risolvere. (it)
  • George Hadley (12 lutego, 1685 – 28 czerwca, 1768) – angielski meteorolog. Opisał wiatry pasatowe. Jego imieniem nazwana jest cyrkulacja w tropikach, której elementem są pasaty i tropikalna strefa konwergencji. Wraz z braćmi: Johnem i Henrym, skonstruował w 1721 teleskop newtonowski. (pl)
  • George Hadley (Londres, 12 de fevereiro de 1685 — , 28 de junho de 1768) foi um advogado e meteorologista que se notabilizou ao propor em 1735 o mecanismo atmosférico que explica a existência dos ventos alísios, designado posteriormente por circulação de Hadley. Intrigado com o facto de os ventos alísios que em função da distribuição da pressão atmosférica deveriam soprar para o norte terem um forte fluxo de oeste, desenvolveu um mecanismo explicativo assente na circulação geral da atmosfera na região em torno dos trópicos que explica a formação daqueles ventos, cujo conhecimento era naquela época de fundamental importância para a escolha das rotas dos veleiros que cruzavam o Atlântico.

  • George Hadley (född: 12 februari 1685, död: 28 juni 1768) var en brittisk advokat och amatörmeteorolog. Han var den förste som korrekt kunde förklara den dynamik som ger upphov till passadvindarna i jordens atmosfär, en insats som gjort att de så kallade Hadleycellerna norr och söder om ekvatorn idag bär hans namn. För Hadleys samtid gjorde sjötrafiken över Atlanten att en förståelse för passadvindarna var av högsta intresse. Han fascinerades över att dessa vindar inte, som logiken påbjöd, var riktade rakt norrut utan överlag var orienterade i västlig riktning. (sv)
