Abstract: The relationships between intraseasonal (periods <100 days) variations of convection, sea surface temperature (SST), surface wind stress, and surface fluxes of latent heat and radiation in the warm pool of the equatorial ...

Abstract: Reliability of the surface fluxes from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) reanalyses is assessed across the warm pool of the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. Emphasis is given to the spatial distribution ...

Abstract: Composites of sea surface temperature (SST), surface heat, momentum, and freshwater flux anomalies associated with intraseasonal oscillations of convection are developed for the warm pool of the western Pacific and Indian ...

Abstract: The relationship between the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical troposphere, and the Kelvin waves that dominate the variability of the equatorial thermocline in ...

Abstract: Interannual variability of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the Tropics, is investigated during the extended austral summer season November?March, which is when the MJO ...

Abstract: Observed rainfall, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), divergence, and precipitation from the reanalysis project of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction and the National Center for Atmospheric Research are ...

Abstract: Relationships between deep convection over South America and the atmospheric circulation are examined, with emphasis on submonthly variations of the South Atlantic convergence zone (SACZ) during austral summer. Outgoing ...

Abstract: Systematic forecast errors associated with active episodes of the tropical Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) are examined using five winters of dynamical extended range forecasts from the National Centers for Environmental ...
