Oscillations of the intertropical convergence zone and the genesis of easterly waves

Oscillations of the intertropical convergence zone and the genesis of easterly waves

We examine the eastern Pacific Ocean Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) both in its mean state and transient phases using a combined diagnostic, theoretical and numerical modeling approach. We note that the ITCZ is perpetually in a transient state with strong variability occurring on 4-8 day time...
