ITCZ의 색다른 표현 양식

b, The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ was defined as

regions that received a mid-summer (January (turquoise colour gradient)

or July (red colour gradient)) mean monthly total rainfall of >20 cm,

for the period 1979–2017. Where both January and July had rainfall of

>20 cm, we show the measurement from the month with the largest total.

The ITCZ is a strong predictor of the distribution of the tropical terrestrial

ecoregions shown in a. Data sources are presented in Supplementary

Table 1.

Fig. 1 | The tropical biosphere. a, Tropical terrestrial and marine biomes.

The tropical terrestrial biome (green) was defined as all tropical mesic

ecoregions 163 . These ecoregions span 82% of the 50 million km 2 of land

between 23.5° N and 23.5° S, but extend into the subtropics in some

areas. The tropical marine biome was defined by the 1988–2018 mean

minimum monthly 18 °C sea-surface isotherm. This isotherm bounds the

latitudinal extent of shallow-water coral-forming ecoregions (blue)
