Factors controlling the position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone on an aquaplanet
Aqua planet experiments performed with fixed sea surface temperatures (SST) using the ECHAM6 GCM are studied to understand properties that influence the position of the inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). A single ITCZ develops when using the Nordeng scheme and a double ITCZ when using the Tiedt...
