Subsidence Warming as an Underappreciated Ingredient in Tropical Cyclogenesis. Part I: Aircraft Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he development of a compact warm core extending from the mid-upper levels to the lower troposphere and related surface pressure falls leading to tropical cyclogenesis (TC genesis) is not well understood. This study documents ...
Equatorial Dry Air Intrusion and Related Synoptic Variability in MJO Initiation during DYNAMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ynamics of the Madden?Julian oscillation (DYNAMO) was conducted over the equatorial Indian Ocean (IO) from October 2011 to March 2012. During mid- to late November, a strong Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) event, denoted ...
Cloud Clusters and Tropical Cyclogenesis: Developing and Nondeveloping Systems and Their Large-Scale Environment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclone (TC) genesis occurs only when there is persistent, organized convection. The question of why some cloud clusters develop into a TC and others do not remains unresolved. This question cannot be addressed ...
Large-Scale Environmental Characteristics of MJOs that Strengthen and Weaken over the Maritime Continent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe characteristics of Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) events that strengthen and weaken over the Maritime Continent (MC) are examined. The real-time multivariate MJO (RMM) index is used to assess changes in global ...
Aircraft Observations of Dry Air, the ITCZ, Convective Cloud Systems, and Cold Pools in MJO during DYNAMO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ne of the most challenging problems in predicting the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) is the initiation of large-scale convective activity associated with the MJO over the tropical Indian Ocean. The lack of observations ...
