Energetic Constraints on the Width of the Intertropical Convergence Zone
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) has been the focus of considerable research in recent years, with much of this work concerned with how the latitude of maximum tropical precipitation responds to natural climate variability and to radiative forcing. The width of the ITCZ, however, has received little attention despite its importance for regional climate and for understanding the general...
متن کاملSouthward migration of the intertropical convergence zone through the Holocene.
Titanium and iron concentration data from the anoxic Cariaco Basin, off the Venezuelan coast, can be used to infer variations in the hydrological cycle over northern South America during the past 14,000 years with subdecadal resolution. Following a dry Younger Dryas, a period of increased precipitation and riverine discharge occurred during the Holocene "thermal maximum." Since approximately 54...
متن کاملa synchronic and diachronic approach to the change route of address terms in the two recent centuries of persian language
terms of address as an important linguistics items provide valuable information about the interlocutors, their relationship and their circumstances. this study was done to investigate the change route of persian address terms in the two recent centuries including three historical periods of qajar, pahlavi and after the islamic revolution. data were extracted from a corpus consisting 24 novels w...
15 صفحه اولDynamics of the Intertropical Convergence Zone of the East Pacific
The dynamical factors controlling the mean state and variability of the east Pacific intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the associated cross-equatorial boundary layer flow are investigated using observations from the East Pacific Investigation of Climate (EPIC2001) project. The tropical east Pacific exhibits a southerly boundary layer flow that terminates in the ITCZ. This flow is induce...
متن کاملDynamics of Disturbances on the Intertropical Convergence Zone
The dynamics of disturbances on a theoretically derived Intertropical Convergence Zone are studied. Radiative cooling over a hemisphere is parameterised by a Newtonian cooling law, relative to a radiative equilibrium temperature which decreases from equator to pole. Release of latent heat of condensation in the tropics is treated as a function of convergence in the planetary boundary layer. The...
