The impacts of fake below-ground meridional wind (FBGMW) on the regional Hadley circulation in Africa (AFHC) in terms of the climatology, interannual variability, and linear trends have been analyzed based on seven reanalysis datasets by using the local partitioning method of the tropical overturning circulation (M1) and the three-pattern decomposition of global atmospheric circulation (M2). The results are as follows: (1) In terms of the climatology, the impacts of FBGMW on the intensity, common rising branch, and sinking branches in both hemispheres of the AFHC depended on the seasons and methods for the calculation of mas stream function. (2) Except for the common rising branch, the FBGMW had small impact on the interannual variability of the intensity of AFHC and the sinking branches location of AFHC in both hemispheres. No-considering FBGMW led to smaller interannual variability of the common rising branch of AFHC in winter and summer based on M1 method and in winter based on M2 Method, and larger interannual variability of the common rising branch of AFHC in autumn based on both methods. With no-considering FBGMW, the change of the interannual variability of the common rising branch of AFHC in spring based on M1 method and in spring and summer based on M2 method depended on the choice of the reanalysis data. (3) Although no-considering FBGMW, it had impact on the quantitative values of the linear trends of the intensity, common rising branch, and sinking branches location in both hemispheres of AFHC, the main conclusions of these linear trends did not change.
