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 ...

Abstract: The conversion of measured radiances into radiative fluxes requires application of angular corrections; in the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), the longwave anisotropic emission factors (AEFS) were tabulated for ...

Abstract: he authors analyze how modifications of the convective scheme modify the initiation of tropical depression vortices (TDVs) and their intensification into stronger warm-cored tropical cyclone?like vortices (TCs) in global ...

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 ...

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. ...

Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene program explores how strong air?sea interactions promoted by the shallow thermocline and high sea surface temperature in the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge results in marked variability at synoptic, ...

Abstract: The Vasco?Cirene field experiment, in January?February 2007, targeted the Seychelles?Chagos thermocline ridge (SCTR) region, with the main purpose of investigating Madden?Julian Oscillation (MJO)-related SST events. The ...
