This calls immediately for the application of the precautionary principle and stop flights through local intertropical convergence or divergence regions until the matter is settled by deliberations among all knowledgable sections of society, expert and otherwise. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The planet's major rain forests are found in the intertropical convergence zone, a region over the tropical oceans where the tradewinds from the northern and southern hemispheres converge, creating a continuous band of clouds. ❋ Anthony Grant (2010)

The strong influence of the warm El Niño currents, the cold and dry Humboldt current and the effects of the intertropical convergence zone produce a broad fluctuation of tides, strong climatic pressure and sporadic formations of frost. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The intertropical convergence zone draws in surface air from the subtropics. ❋ Unknown (2009)

On these modified graphics, we can better visualize the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), subtropical high pressure zone, and the subpolar lows. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Note that the line representing the intertropical convergence zone is not straight and parallel to the lines of latitude. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The red line on this image represents the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). ❋ Unknown (2009)
