RISOn What Scale Can We Predict the Agronomic Onset of the West African Monsoon?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate prediction of the commencement of local rainfall over West Africa can provide vital information for local stakeholders and regional planners. However, in comparison with analysis of the regional onset of the West ...
Observations of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer Associated with the West African Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A set of nighttime tethered balloon and kite measurements from the central Sahel (15.2°N, 1.3°W) in August 2005 were acquired and analyzed. A composite of all the nights? data was produced using boundary layer height to ...
The West African Monsoon Onset: A Concise Comparison of Definitions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he onset of the West African monsoon (WAM) marks a vital time for local and regional stakeholders. While the seasonal progression of monsoon winds and the related migration of precipitation from the Guinea Coast toward the ...
Identification of Processes Driving Low-Level Westerlies in West Equatorial Africa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates and characterizes the control mechanisms of the low-level circulation over west equatorial Africa (WEA) using four reanalysis datasets. Emphasis is placed on the contribution of the divergent and ...
Detecting the ITCZ in Instantaneous Satellite Data using Spatiotemporal Statistical Modeling: ITCZ Climatology in the East Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Markov random field (MRF) statistical model is introduced, developed, and validated for detecting the east Pacific intertropical convergence zone in instantaneous satellite data from May through October. The MRF statistical ...
What Is the Added Value of a Convection-Permitting Model for Forecasting Extreme Rainfall over Tropical East Africa?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTForecasting convective rainfall in the tropics is a major challenge for numerical weather prediction. The use of convection-permitting (CP) forecast models in the tropics has lagged behind the midlatitudes, despite ...

Globally Gridded Satellite Observations for Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nary satellites have provided routine, high temporal resolution Earth observations since the 1970s. Despite the long period of record, use of these data in climate studies has been limited for numerous reasons, among them ...
