ITCZ

#1 Postby NONAME » Sat Mar 18, 2006 9:04 am

The Inter-tropical convergence zone has been moving north lately and I am wondering if any one would have good info on it. I have notice it been slightly moving north word and I think the disturbance are actually getting more amplified although they still are that amplified which shouldn't have till around Maybe may or June. For instance about them getting more amplified one had a low on it but since the SST are really low it couldn't do any thing and it was only around 4-6 north and there's not enough Coriolis effect for it to spin up that is also why don't see many off-season storm. So if you have any more info Please share I want to learn the most I can about the formation of tropical cyclone.
