The Impact of Seasonal Variations on the Large-Scale Easterly Flow of the ITCZ: Unveiling Earth’s Climate Dynamics
Climate & Climate Zones1. Getting Started The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a prominent feature of the Earth’s climate system that plays a critical role in regulating global atmospheric circulation and precipitation patterns. It is a belt of low pressure near the equator where trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge. The ITCZ exhibits significant seasonal
