The Effect of Atmosphere‐Ocean Coupling on the Sensitivity of the ITCZ to Convective Mixing

Abstract The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is a discontinuous, zonal precipitation band that plays a crucial role in the global hydrological cycle. Previous studies using prescribed sea surface temperature (SST) aquaplanets show the ITCZ is sensitive to convective mixing, but such a framewor...
