                         intertropical convergence zone is proposed. Three fields are used 
                         as tracers of the ITCZ climatoligical positioning; low level 
                         confluence of the trade winds, low level convergence maxima of the 
                         trade winds, and the minima of outgoing longwave radiation along 
                         longitudes 28°W and 35°W. It is shown that the ITCZ shows maxima 
                         daily variability at the points of maxima latitudinal displacement 
                         to the south and the north, during April and September 
                         respectively. The results of this study are part of an ongoing 
                         effort to monitor the latitudinal displacements of the ITCZ on a 
                         daily basis, as one tool for diagnostics and prediction of the 
                         rainy period over northeast Brazil.",
