    Default Wind currents

    Alright. Here's my first (here--third try total) pair of maps of wind patterns. I've had a map of ocean currents for a while, but those are more useful for determining trade routes than climate. From my observations, the ITCZ seems to vary widely when crossing over land--leaving the equator by as much as 35 degrees by way of Africa, Arabia and the Himalayas in the northern summer. The phenomenon of seasonal change from low to high pressure zones seems to be a recipe for deserts and has something to do with expansive high-altitude ground--or vice versa.

    Does this look plausible? Are there major issues in the wind patterns?
