Ewlah (my main continent, but the smallest of the 3 continents on
the planet) is "more vertical than horizontal". As the continents are
positioned, I am assuming just one cell would form in the southern
hemisphere, and that the northern hemisphere currents would be
circumpolar.
I'd love to feed the planet's data into a weather prediction
programme, if only to find out how wrong my assumptions really are.
