Climatological mean global snow cover and map of months showing seasonal runoff maxima. Chart of climatological mean global snow cover derived from datasets of the terrestrial water budget data archive (Willmott and Matsuura [2001]) and map of months showing seasonal runoff maxima based on the climatological runoff dataset (Dai and Trenberth [2002]). Red, green, and blue lines indicate the intertropical convergence zones (ITCZ) in JJA (June, July, and August), in OND (October, November, and December), and in DJF (December, January, and February), respectively. Purple lines indicate the latitudes 35°N and 50°N.
