 ole of ITCZ Shifts on Barotropic Instability: The Effects of Moisture and 
 Implications for Tropical Cyclones\n\nThe Intertropical Convergence Zone (
 ITCZ) is a barotropically unstable region and an important generator of tr
 opical cyclones (TCs). The ITCZ is seen to shift poleward during northern 
 hemisphere summer and asymmetries between the hemispheres in their respect
 ive global warming signatures imply a further shift to the north. Dynamics
  of both the ITCZ and the TCs it generates are strongly influenced by prec
 ipitation through the release of latent heat. Here we consider the role of
  moisture on TC genesis and the latitudinal position of the ITCZ. To this 
 end\, we use a shallow water model with a prescribed heating function and 
 parameterized precipitation. Both the heating function and the precipitati
 on are modelled as mass sinks\, the difference being that the precipitatio
 n mass sink is determined by the dynamics of the flow. We evaluate the ene
 rgetics of the system and TC genesis as a function of the latitudinal posi
 tion of the prescribed heating and a parameter controlling the strength of
  precipitation-related latent heat release.\n\nWednesday Oct 09/ 2.30 PM/
