Zonally Varying ITCZs in a Matsuno‐Gill‐Type Model With an Idealized Bjerknes Feedback

Abstract In the present climate, tropical rain bands exhibit a bifurcated pattern, continuously forming along single intertropical convergence zones (ITCZs) in some regions, and along double ITCZs that straddle the equator in other regions. This bifurcated ITCZ pattern is studied in a Matsuno‐Gill‐t...
