Abstract
In its simplest form, the general circulation of the atmosphere may be regarded as two meridional circulation in opposite directions and separated by what is sometimes known as the `meteorological equator`. The meteorological equator, as a planetary entity, divides the troposphere into two meteorological hemispheres, ensuring energy equilibrium in them, and corresponding to what are known as intertropical convergence zone, intertropical discontinuity, intertropical front, monsoon front etc. The meteorological equator moves from the south towards the north and then from the north towards the south in harmony with the apparent movement of the Sun. 11 refs, 14 figs, 1 tab.
