Hadley’s Principle: Understanding and Misunderstanding the Trade Winds	2006	26	.pdf	application/pdf	13875	551	55	Kant’s texts on meteorological problems, in particular on winds, are found mainly in three sources: (A) ”Neue Anmerkungen zur Erläuterung der Theorie der Winde” (New Comments to clarify the Theory of Winds), a pamphlet of about 15-20 pages published in Königsberg in April 1756, consisting of five “Comments” with the following headings: (1) Differential heating drives the wind as long as the heating persists; (2) The heated air replaces the cold air; (3) The wind from the equator to the pole becomes increasingly westerly due to the rotation of the earth; (4) The easterly trade winds for the same reason; (5) The monsoon is also Hadley’s Principle 22 explained by the 3rd cause. A Dr Garden enthusiastically promoted Galileo’s idea that trade winds “lagged behind” because the air due to the sun’s heating became lighter, rose and lost touch with the earth’s surface7.	cache/hom-58.pdf	txt/hom-58.txt
