August position of the ITCZ and monsoon trough in the Pacific Ocean, depicted by area of convergent streamlines in the northern Pacific. The monsoon trough is a portion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone in the Western Pacific, [1] [2] as depicted by a line on a weather map showing the locations of minimum sea level pressure, [1] and as such, is a convergence zone between the wind patterns ...
The ITCZ is visible as a band of clouds encircling Earth near the Equator. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ / ɪ tʃ / ITCH, or ICZ), [1] known by sailors as the doldrums [2] or the calms because of its monotonous windless weather, is the area where the northeast and the southeast trade winds converge.
The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), a reverse-oriented monsoon trough, is a band of low-level convergence, cloudiness and precipitation extending from the Western Pacific Warm Pool at the maritime continent south-eastwards towards French Polynesia and as far as the Cook Islands (160W, 20S).
A typical instigator of August hurricane activity is the West African monsoon trough. Monsoon waves come off the west coast of Africa and often become storms as they trek across the Atlantic. This ...
However, the monsoon is not a simple response to heating but a more complex interaction of topography, wind and sea, as demonstrated by its abrupt rather than gradual withdrawal from the region. The Australian monsoon (the "Wet") occurs in the southern summer when the monsoon trough develops over Northern Australia. Over three-quarters of ...
When this occurs over the tropics in concert with the Intertropical Convergence Zone, it is known as a monsoon trough. [7] Monsoon troughs reach their northerly extent in August and their southerly extent in February. [8] [9] [10] When a convective low acquires a well-defined circulation in the tropics it is termed a tropical cyclone. [6]
By definition, the feature is a monsoon trough. [2] It is strongest in the warm season. Thunderstorm activity along the feature magnifies over three or more days when the Madden–Julian oscillation passes into the region, due to the enhanced upper divergence.
To the ant-fascist movement, President-elect Trump is a fascist. Antifa say they will remain peaceful as he takes power, unless lines are crossed.
