Evolution of the Double‐ITCZ Bias Through CESM2 Development
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2019 The structure of the east Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) as simulated in the Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) is greatly improved as compared to its previous version, CESM version 1. Examination of intermediate model versions

Effects of Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone precipitation bias on ENSO phase transition
Environmental Research Letters, 2014 In this study, the effect of mean precipitation bias over the Pacific Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) on the El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) transition is examined using CMIP3 and CMIP5 archives.

Effect of SST Variation on ITCZ in APE Simulations
Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 2013 The effect of meridional variation of sea surface temperature (SST) on tropical atmospheric circulation is analyzed using Aqua-planet Experiment (APE) simulations. The meridional SST gradient around the narrow SST peak in CONTROL simulation favours a strong and single equatorial Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ, defined by the maximum of zonally ...

The ITCZ in the Central and Eastern Pacific on Synoptic Time Scales [PDF]
, 2006 The ITCZ in the central and eastern Pacific on synoptic time scales is highly dynamic. The active season extends roughly from May through October. During the active season, the ITCZ continuously breaks down and re-forms, and produces a series of tropical

Pacific Warming Pattern Discrepancy Linked to Spurious Rainband in Climate Models
Geophysical Research LettersThe distinctive pattern of observed Pacific surface temperature trends, with cooling in the east and intensified warming in the west, departs from the more uniform warming anticipated by climate models.

Mid-Holocene Intertropical Convergence Zone migration: connection with Hadley cell dynamics and impacts on terrestrial hydroclimate [PDF]
Climate of the PastThis study investigates the multiple changes of the Hadley cell (HC) in response to the northward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and their combined influence on the terrestrial hydrological cycle during the mid-Holocene, using ...

Poleward propagations of the ITCZ : Observations and theory
MAUSAM, 1990 Many features of the intra seasonal variation of the ITCZ over the Indian longitudes in the summer monsoon including poleward propagations emanating from oceanic regions and traversing both ocean and land to culminate in the seasonal trough have been simulated by a modified Version of the Webster model.

Relation of the double‐ITCZ bias to the atmospheric energy budget in climate models
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 We examine how tropical zonal mean precipitation biases in current climate models relate to the atmospheric energy budget. Both hemispherically symmetric and antisymmetric tropical precipitation biases contribute to the well‐known double‐Intertropical ...
