• The ocean’s role in setting the mean position of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (2013, background): “…transport across the equator It is often assumed that atmospheric eddies transport less energy in the deep tropics than the overturning circulation (Held 2001) and, thus, the total energy transport across the 1 Moist static energy is the sum of sensible, latent, and potential energy MSE = cpT ?”

• Observations, inferences, and mechanisms of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: A review (2016, background): “Additionally, to the extent the near-surface branches of both the atmospheric and oceanic overturnings can be thought of as the Ekman drift associated with the same surface stress, AHT and OHT in the tropics are expected to covary [Held, 2001].”
• WATER VAPOR AND THE DYNAMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGES (2009, methodology): “Neglecting the coupling of ocean heat transport to the strength of the Hadley circulation [Klinger and Marotzke, 2000; Held, 2001] thus may lead to different responses of the Hadley circulation to the seasonal cycle or to climate changes, as seen, for example, in the simulations in Clement [2006] or”

• Narrowing of the ITCZ in a warming climate: Physical mechanisms (2016, background): “In the descent region, the GMS increases with warming in all models (i.e., becomes more positive in qualitative agreement with simple thermodynamic scalings [Held, 2001; Hill et al., 2015]) which requires reduced descent for energetic balance and is thus a narrowing tendency for the ITCZ.”

• Energetic Constraints on the Position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (2013, background): “In reality, of course, both are related to the climate state, through the shortwave albedo (e.g., cloudiness) and ocean energy flux, which is intimately coupled to the atmospheric circulation and its energy flux (Klinger and Marotzke 2000; Held 2001).”
