Abstract: The enhanced cumulus convection in tropical disturbances acts in two opposing ways. In one sense the condensation heat from the cumuli acts to warm the inner portions of the disturbance and induce vertical shear of the ...

Abstract: A global observational study of atmospheric conditions associated with tropical disturbance and storm development is presented. This study primarily uses upper air observations which have become available over the tropical ...

Abstract: In cumulus convective atmospheres where important energy and momentum interactions are occurring on the cumulus cloud scale (width 1 to 3 nautical miles) dynamical processes may be significantly different than middle ...

Abstract: This paper (part I) is a discussion of the magnitude and implication of the vertical circulation patterns of the summertime tropical atmosphere as derived from synoptic scale considerations. Part I is compared to the ...

Abstract: It is proposed that attention be given to the possibility of tropical cyclone intensity determination through upper-tropospheric jet aircraft reconnaissance. The cyclone's upper-level temperature anomaly and its gradient ...

Abstract: This is the first of two papers on Atlantic seasonal hurricane frequency. In this paper, seasonal hurricane frequency as related to E1 Niño events during 1900?82 and to the equatorial Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of ...

Abstract: This is the second of two papers on Atlantic seasonal hurricane activity. It is an extension of Part I, which discussed the association of El Niño and the phases of the stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of ...

Abstract: In cumulus convective atmospheres the most significant length scale of vertical motion is of cumulus draft size?of horizontal lengths two to four orders of magnitude less than the synoptic scale and of magnitude one to ...
