What is the ITZ? I am new here and hear that used a lot. Can you explain what it is? Thanks!
The ITCZ is the intertropical convergence zone, where the trade winds converge near or north of the equator. It is where convection can often be found and is approximately a conduit by which tropical waves can move across the oceans. --Clark
