  9. Dependence of tropical precipitation on changes in cross-equatorial atmosphere and ocean heat transport in global warming simulations

    Spevacek, Ashly Ann2017

    The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is an area of convection encircling the earth near the equator where the northern and southern hemisphere (SH) Hadley cells converge. If a forcing (e.g. aerosol emissions decline) results in a greater net influx of heat into one hemisphere the Hadley cells …
