Forms of MCS that develop within the tropics use either the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) or monsoon troughs as a focus for their development, generally within the warm …

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 zonal-mean position of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and its shift in the meridional direction significantly influence both the tropical and even global climate.

Aug 1, 2015 · Shear-parallel MCSs, which are common in the ITCZ, have a three-dimensional structure and, as such, present a serious modeling challenge. Here, a previously developed …

Large-scale atmospheric and oceanic controlling factors are identified that favor double ITCZ. We finally show how and why the Community Atmospheric Model (CAM5) and the CESM simulate …

extent, with excessive precipitation south of the equator in the Pac 5 elongated and a spurious ITCZ is simulated in the Eastern Pacific. In some models (e g., GISS-E2-R and 96 MRI …

Current climate models represent the zonal- and annual-mean intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) position in a biased way, with an unrealistic double precipitation peak straddling the …

Processes Controlling the Mean Tropical Pacific Precipitation Pattern. Part I: The Andes and the Eastern Pacific ITCZ. The question of why the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is …

Nov 21, 2018 · Here we propose a new probabilistic framework to track the ITCZ, which is based on tracking the location of maximum precipitation and minimum outgoing longwave radiation in …

Jan 28, 2021 · The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a planetary-scale band of rising air and intense rainfall that migrates seasonally around the equator. Under global warming, the …
