Coupling of Trade Winds with Ocean Circulation Damps ITCZ Shifts

The position of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is sensitive to the atmosphere's hemispheric energy balance, lying in the hemisphere most strongly heated by radiative and turbulent surface energy fluxes. This study examines how the ocean circulation, through its cross-equatorial energ...
