Abstract: The dynamics of convectively coupled gravity waves traveling over a precipitating region are analyzed in an idealized model for the large-scale atmospheric circulation. The model is composed of a shallow water system coupled ...

Abstract: number of studies suggest a two-way feedback between convectively coupled Kelvin waves (CCKWs) and the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Viewed here as a proxy for deep convection, analysis of brightness temperature ...

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical study of the effects of moist convection on geostrophic adjustment in an infinite channel. The governing equations correspond to a linearized shallow water system of equations for the ...

Abstract: pace?time spectral analysis of tropical cloudiness data shows strong evidence that convectively coupled n = 0 mixed Rossby?gravity waves (MRGs) and eastward inertio-gravity waves (EIGs) occur primarily within the western/central ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study examines the diurnal cycle of rainfall and cloudiness associated with the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) using TRMM rainfall rate and ISCCP multilevel cloud fraction data. There are statistically ...

Abstract: he relationship between n = 0 mixed Rossby?gravity waves (MRGs) and eastward inertio-gravity waves (EIGs) from Matsuno?s shallow-water theory on an equatorial beta plane is studied using statistics of satellite brightness ...

Abstract: he intrusion of lower-stratospheric extratropical potential vorticity into the tropical upper troposphere in the weeks surrounding the occurrence of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) is examined. The analysis reveals ...

Abstract: he organization of tropical convection is assessed through an object-based analysis of satellite brightness temperature data Tb, a proxy for convective activity. The analysis involves the detection of contiguous cloud ...
