Intraseasonal Convective Perturbations Related to the Seasonal March of the Indo-Pacific Monsoons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal evolution of the 20?90-day intraseasonal variability (ISV) of the convection in the Indo-Pacific region presents intriguing features related to monsoon dynamics: (i) a sharp ISV maximum in May for the southern ...
Role of Diurnal Warm Layers in the Diurnal Cycle of Convection over the Tropical Indian Ocean during MISMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of air?sea interaction in the diurnal variations of convective activity during the suppressed and developing stages of an intraseasonal convective event is analyzed using in situ observations from the Mirai Indian ...
Tropospheric Turbulence over the Tropical Open Ocean: Role of Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA large set of soundings obtained in the Indian Ocean during three field campaigns is used to provide statistical characteristics of tropospheric turbulence and its link with gravity wave (GW) activity. The Thorpe ...
The Aeroclipper: A New Device to Explore Convective Systems and Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Validation of the Aeroclipper System under Convective Occurrences (VASCO) test experiment in January and February 2007, eight Aeroclipper prototypes were launched from Mahé Island in the tropical Indian Ocean. ...
Observation of Moisture Tendencies Related to Shallow Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropospheric moisture is a key factor controlling the global climate and its variability. For instance, moistening of the lower troposphere is necessary to trigger the convective phase of a Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO). ...
Near–Sea Surface Temperature Stratification from SVP Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study describes how the hull temperature (Ttop) measurements from multisensor surface velocity program (SVP) drifters can be combined with other measurements to provide quantitative information on near-surface vertical ...
