Difference between Intertropical Convergence Zone and Thunderstorm

Intertropical Convergence Zone vs. Thunderstorm

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling Earth near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge. A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, lightning storm, or thundershower, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder.

Similarities between Intertropical Convergence Zone and Thunderstorm

Intertropical Convergence Zone and Thunderstorm have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atmospheric convection, Equator, Monsoon, Monsoon trough, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Northern Hemisphere, Thunderstorm, Tropical cyclone, Tropics, Weather front, Wind shear.

Atmospheric convection

Atmospheric convection is the result of a parcel-environment instability, or temperature difference, layer in the atmosphere.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Monsoon

Monsoon is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation, but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.

Monsoon trough

The monsoon trough is a portion of the Intertropical Convergence Zone,Bin Wang.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA; pronounced, like "Noah") is an American scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce that focuses on the conditions of the oceans, major waterways, and the atmosphere.

Thunderstorm

A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, lightning storm, or thundershower, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder.

Tropical cyclone

A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and a spiral arrangement of thunderstorms that produce heavy rain.

Tropics

The tropics are a region of the Earth surrounding the Equator.

Weather front

A weather front is a boundary separating two masses of air of different densities, and is the principal cause of meteorological phenomena outside the tropics.

Wind shear

Wind shear (or windshear), sometimes referred to as wind gradient, is a difference in wind speed and/or direction over a relatively short distance in the atmosphere.
