Abstract: Seasonal, diurnal and synoptic time scales, plus a subseasonal modulation of synoptic events, appear to dominate the temporal structure of monsoon systems. Observational studies indicate that the latter low-frequency ...

Abstract: With a structure based on observational studies which indicate that the monsoon occurs on extremely large spatial scales and shows distinct seasonal character, a model is developed with the aim of discerning the basic ...

Abstract: A basic numerical model is described which contains diffusions of momentum and heat which balance frontogenetic advections, and also condensation heating and a moist convective adjustment mechanism. Numerical solutions ...
