A Global Climatology of Large‐Scale Convergence Lines and Their Influence on Monsoon Variability in India, West Africa, and Australia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Low‐level (1,000–850 hPa), 6‐day time‐mean large‐scale convergence lines are identified objectively in the ERA5 reanalysis and are sorted into two classes according to whether the local specific humidity is high (high‐q) or low (low‐q). The high‐q convergence lines lie in the tropics, and in particular in the Intertropical Convergence Zone ...
