18. Idealized Global Circulation Model
ITCZ – Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone
STHP – Sub-Tropical High Pressure
SPLP – Sub-Polar Low Pressure
PHP – Polar High Pressure

19. Seasonal Patterns
Location of the sun’s noon-time vertical rays (i.e., where the sun is directly overhead) helps to control the position of the ITCZ
Northern Hemisphere summer, ITCZ and all of the wind and pressure belts migrate to the north
North Hemisphere winter, ITCZ and all of the wind and pressure belts migrate to the south
