Increased extreme swings of Atlantic intertropical convergence zone in a warming climate

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 18 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01445-y

The Atlantic intertropical convergence zone can experience extreme northward shifts, with resultant precipitation changes. Model projections show the frequency of these extreme shifts will increase under climate change, driven by faster sea surface warming north of the Equator.
