    Thanks. In relation to my own map, I have a range of mountains which runs North-South right through the equator, with roughly equal amount of land either side of the mountain range. Since a large part of the range falls within the ITCZ (so the prevailing winds would be calm), where would the rain be most likely to fall (and thus produce rainforest)?

    Edit: Afterthought; since the air around the ITCZ is calm, and rainfall seems to be pretty uniform in those latitudes (except for mountainous areas), I imagine on my map it might end up being two large dry patches on both sides of the mountain, and then rainforest on both sides as the land flattens?
