Abstract
A simple analytical model relates the seasonal excursion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone to seasonal changes in hemispheric forcing. The maximum value of the excursion increases with the seasonal heating change; it decreases with the equator-pole heating difference and with the heat storage capacity of the system as indicated by the lag of the response after the forcing.Keywords
