A Study of the Eastern Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone: Composite Structure and Initiation of Organized Convection

Abstract

dc:description

Data obtained in the GATE experiment during the summer of 1974 were analyzed to obtain the composite structure of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the Eastern Atlantic. The composite was based upon the location of the surface confluence line. Separate composites were made for disturbed and suppressed cases in each of the three data collection phases.
