Energetic Constraints on the ITCZ Position in Idealized Simulations With a Seasonal Cycle

Abstract The atmospheric energy budget has recently been shown to provide powerful constraints on the position and shifts of the zonal and annual mean intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), which lies close to the latitude of zero vertically integrated energy transport (energy flux equator, EFE).
