equatorial convergence zone"Same as intertropical convergence zone.
Equatorial Countercurrent"See North Equatorial Countercurrent, South Equatorial Countercurrent.
Intertropical Convergence Zone
The zone separating the wind circulations of the northern and southern hemispheres.
Intertropical Convergence Zone
The area in tropical regions where the trade winds from the northern and southern hemispheres meet. Characterised by cloud and rain. The zone moves north and south with the northern and southern summers.

Inter-tropical Convergence Zone. The region where the northeasterly and southeasterly tradewinds converge, forming an often continuous band of clouds or thunderstorms near the equator

Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) - the axis dividing the southeast trades from the northeast trades, toward which the surface winds tend to converge ...
INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE (ITCZ)
An area where the Northern and Southern Hemispheric trade winds converge, usually located between 10 degrees North and South of the equator.
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ): belt of clouds and thunderstorms that runs parallel to the equator and marks where the trade winds of both hemispheres come together.
Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) Discontinuous belt of thunderstorms paralleling the equator and marking the convergence of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere surface trade winds.
Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) - The zone of general convergence between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere trade winds.

Inter Tropical Convergence Zone
A relatively narrow zone of persistent thunderstorms in tropical waters. It marks the meeting or convergent point of winds originating from both the northern and southern hemispheres.
ITCZ: Intertropical Convergence Zone. Trough located next to the equator, delimiting the convergence zone of the air that moves from the subtropical regions of both hemispheres towards the equator.
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) Highly visible on satellite imagery of the Earth's equatorial regions, ...
Sea Breeze Convergence ZoneThe zone at the leading edge of a sea breeze where winds converge. The incoming air rises in this zone, often producing convective clouds.
Puget Sound Convergence ZoneA situation where wind forced around the Olympic Mountains converges over the Puget Sound.
It is a plume-like object that extends from the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) northward or southward into the higher latitudes. It is usually located over a 850 to 700 mb theta-e ridge axis.
Climatologically, low pressure forms at the Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), as part of the Hadley Cell circulation. Many of the world's rainforests are associated with these climatological low pressure systems.
New cells developing along this enhanced convergence zone tend to move in the same direction as the older cells, which increases the time that the new cells will experience low-level convergence and tap into the warm, moist inflow air.
ITCZ - Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone. A region where the two equatorial Hadley cells border each other. Air converges near the equator associated with upward motion and divergence aloft.
The first is the InterTropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ is a near-solid ring of thunderstorms surrounding the globe found in the tropics.

Droughts in Africa, for example in the Sahel in the 1970s or in Zimbabwe in the early 1990s, result from the failure of the inter-tropical convergence zone to move sufficiently far from the equator.

The quasi-continuous area of low pressure between the subtropical high pressure areas in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
