• Inter - Tropical Conversation Zone ( I T C Z )
→ The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a broad trough of low pressure in equatorial latitudes. This is where the northeast and the southeast trade winds converge. This convergence zone lies more or less parallel to the equator but moves north or south with the apparent movement of the sun.
>> 1. Region near the equator where the wind systems (trade winds) of the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere meet.
2. Position changes with season. North of equator in July, (generally) south of equator in January.
3. Broad trough of low pressure, typical of cloudiness
thunderstorm, and heavy precipitation.
4. More intensely developed in the western Pacific because of warm water pool of surface seawater (T = 31°C) and Asian monsoons.
5. Influences the ocean currents and salinity.
