Abstract
In this chapter, the observed characteristics of the mean climate such as the equatorial asymmetry of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and the equatorial annual cycle in the tropical Pacific are first described. Next the physical mechanisms responsible for the ITCZ asymmetry and the annual cycle are discussed, from theoretical analysis and idealized modeling perspectives.
