Ensuring Hadley Cells and Climate models on planet size
Having looked for a few days I am pretty sure I do not have an answer on this question:
My intended planet will have the same density but double the mass of earth. I know this will increase the surface area a good amount but not to such an extent that I won't have earth-like terrain and oceans. Assuming everything else is nearly identical to earth, would this planet have the same Hadley, Ferrel, and Polar Cells? i.e. cutting the hemispheres at 30 and 60 degrees.
My intent on knowing this is to then map my continents and use the Köppen"“Geiger climate classifications to fill in my expected weather patterns.
From here my only pieces missing is day and year length but given that I am not comparing to human terms I question the need.
