A Simulation Study of the Formation of Large-Scale Cyclonic and Anticyclonic Vortices in the Vicinity of the Intertropical Convergence Zone
Figure 8
The distributions of horizontal component of the air velocity at the altitude of 600 m, assigned at the initial moment (a), computed 20 hours after the beginning of calculations (b), and computed 40 hours after the beginning of calculations (c). The results are obtained for the sixth initial configuration of the intertropical convergence zone. The degree of shadowing of the figures indicates the module of the velocity in m/s.
