Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 The South Equatorial Current is a significant Pacific Ocean Pacific , Atlantic Ocean Atlantic , and Indian Ocean current that flows east to west between the equator and about 20th parallel south 20 degrees south . In the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, it extends across the equator to about 5th parallel north 5 degrees north . Within the southern hemisphere, the South Equatorial Current is the westward limb of the very large scale subtropical gyres. These gyres are driven by the combination of trade winds in the tropics and westerly winds that are found south of about 30th parallel south 30 degrees south , through a rather complicated process that includes western boundary current intensification. On the equator, the South Equatorial Current is driven directly by the trade winds which blow from east to west. In the Indian Ocean, the westward flowing South Equatorial Current is well developed only south of the equator. Directly on the equator, the winds reverse twice a year due to the monsoons, and so the surface current can be either eastward or westward.

Unreferenced date December 2008 The rainfall, and hence the tropical climate is dominated by the tropical rain belt , which oscillates from the northern to the southern tropics over the course of the year, roughly following the solar equator it is largely a manifestation of the ITCZ . The tropical rain belt lies in the southern hemisphere of the Indian ocean and western Pacific ocean roughly from October to March, and during this time the northern tropics experience a dry season in which precipitation is very rare, and days are typically hot and sunny throughout. From April to September, the rain belt lies in the northern hemisphere, and a wet season occurs there, while the southern tropics experience their dry season. The rain belt reaches roughly as far north as the Tropic of Cancer and as far south as the Tropic of Capricorn in the western Pacific ocean. Its variation in the Western Hemisphere is minimal, roughly between the equator and the 15th parallel north latitude. Near these latitudes, there is one wet season and one dry season annually. On the equator, there are two wet and two dry seasons as the rain belt passes over twice a year, once moving north and once moving south. Between the tropics and the equator, locations may experience a short wet and a long wet season. Local geography may substantially modify these climate patterns, however.

of the equator reaches maximum, winds are weakest and the sun shines directly over the equator. So, SST is uniformly warm near the equator, which makes the ITCZ really sensitive to even small disturbance of SST and explains the relaxation of cross equator winds in spring. From July to September, during which the temperature of the equator reaches its minimum, ITCZ reaches its northernmost location, which explains the intensification of cross equator winds. It can be seen that the process of cooling ... Atlantic variability. On the equator, both observational and modeling studies indicate that there is a Bjerknes ... more details
