Jul 18, 2023 · The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) appears as a band of clouds consisting of showers and occasional thunderstorms that encircles the globe near the equator. The solid band of clouds may extend for many hundreds of miles and is sometimes broken into smaller line segments.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ / ɪ tʃ / ITCH, or ICZ), [1] known by sailors as the doldrums [2] or the calms because of its monotonous windless weather, is the area where the northeast and the southeast trade winds converge.

May 23, 2018 · According to scientists, the ITCZ is the wettest zone on earth since it receives precipitation up to 200 days in a single year. Due to the storms collected in this area, it makes it hard for aircraft to fly over the zone and also for a ship to sail through.

Feb 22, 2006 · From March 11 to 20, the current Inter-Tropical Front (ITF) moved southward in the western portion and northward in the eastern portion compared to its previous position. Currently, the ITF is situated around 9.7N in the western area (10W-10E), south of its earlier position at 9.8N.

With the change in the apparent position of sun towards tropic of cancer, ITCZ changes its position. In July, the ITCZ is located around 20°N-25°N latitudes (over the Gangetic plain), sometimes called the monsoon trough. This monsoon trough creates low pressure area over north and northwest India.

Apr 20, 2021 · During the three months of winter, the ITCZ bends off the east coast of Africa to the southern latitudes and enters the waters of the Indian Ocean along the northwest-southeast. In the other words, the average ITCZ position on land is about 5˚–6˚ north latitude over the waters of the Indian Ocean.

Feb 28, 2018 · In the month of July the ITCZ shifts to 20°- 25° N latitude and is located in the Indo-Gangetic Plain and the south-west monsoons blow from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal. The ITCZ in this position is often called the Monsoon Trough [maximum rainfall].

Jul 27, 2023 · When winds from the Southern Hemisphere ram into winds from the Northern Hemisphere, they meet in an area called the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ. The ITCZ encircles the earth...

The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a low-pressure zone located at the equator where trade winds converge, and so, it is a zone where air tends to ascend. In July, the ITCZ has located around 20° N-25° N latitudes (over the Gangetic plain). These are …

In this month, ITCZ has taken a more flat mode and does not have the distortion in October. The position of ITCZ up to about 30˚-30˚-35˚east35˚east, is still above 10˚east10˚east.
