Wow, thanks! The source of where I read my information was misunderstood. What now makes even more sense is the explantion of why tropical cyclones only form in the summer, besides the fact of the the reduced wind shear and the increased surface temp. at the ocean, I knew that the ITCZ rises northward to about were the cape verde islands, and now that the coriolis force actually is greater than 0, makes troughs (tropical waves) that come off Africa, enough spin to become a hurricane. Thanks again.
