At low latitudes, the atmospheric circulation consists essentially of the spiral Hadley cells, of which the trade winds form the lowermost limb. The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), where the wind systems of the two hemispheres meet, is generally associated with the zone of maximum sea-...
The meridional components of the trade winds are usually deflected toward the equator, while those of the antitrades are deflected toward the middle latitudes. Therefore, the trade wind-antitrade system can be viewed as a closed circulation system, with air rising in the equatorial low (the ...
an intermediate zone, several hundred kilometers wide, between the trade winds of the northern and southern hemispheres. For most of the year, the intertropical convergence zone is located north of the equator; during the northern hemisphere’s winter it nears the equator (and can sometimes penetr...
It helps create westward-running trade winds near the equator and eastward-running jet streams in the northem and southem hemispheres. These wind patterns move moisture and air from one place to another, creating weather patterns. (The Coriolis Effect works on a large scale--it doesn ’ t...
1.(Physical Geography) the great circle of the earth with a latitude of 0°, lying equidistant from the poles; dividing the N and S hemispheres 2.(Mathematics) a circle dividing a sphere or other surface into two equal symmetrical parts ...
This is due to its equatorial location, proximity to the Intertropical Convergence Zone (where trade winds from both hemispheres meet), two coastlines, and the presence of the Andes mountain range. In fact, the next 22 ranks are countries that lie at or near the equator or have significant ...
Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~Mark Twain “People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.” ~Thomas Szasz “Never mind searching for who you are. Search ...

The amplitude and beauty of the landscapes of the two hemispheres lend a force to their images which is something other than that of aestheticising scenery: the question is posed—for example, by the long static take of dawn over the islands and the violet sea—of the nature of nature for...
It was shown that both hemispheres are involved with the commencement of the WWBs. Nevertheless, only the Northern Hemisphere has been explained; further investigation is needed for the Southern Hemisphere. Figure 3 Monthly mean sea level pressure anomalies regressed with IMFs 6–8 from lag 1 ...
