subtropical convergence
The region characterized by a convergence of the current in the surface mixed layer (Ekman layer convergence) where water is subducted into the permanent or oceanic thermocline as a result.
This region reaches typically from 15°–20° latitude to 45° latitude. Historically, the term subtropical convergence has also been used for the subtropical front.
