On the Relationship between African Easterly Waves and the African Easterly Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This idealized modeling study investigates how convectively triggered African easterly waves (AEWs) are influenced by the intraseasonal variability of the African easterly jet (AEJ). A set of 10-day averaged zonally varying ...
Intermittent African Easterly Wave Activity in a Dry Atmospheric Model: Influence of the Extratropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dynamical model is constructed of the northern summertime global circulation, maintained by empirically derived forcing, based on the same dynamical code that has recently been used to study African easterly waves (AEWs) ...
Dynamics of the West African Monsoon. Part IV: Analysis of 25–90-Day Variability of Convection and the Role of the Indian Monsoon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is part of a series of studies addressing the dynamics of the West African summer monsoon at intraseasonal time scales between 10 and 90 days. The dominant mode of 25?90-day convective variability in the African ...
An Adaptive Optimal Interpolation Based on Analog Forecasting: Application to SSH in the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because of the irregular sampling pattern of raw altimeter data, many oceanographic applications rely on information from sea surface height (SSH) products gridded on regular grids where gaps have been filled with ...
Seasonality of African Precipitation from 1996 to 2009
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: precipitation climatology of Africa is documented using 12 years of satellite-derived daily data from the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP). The focus is on examining spatial variations in the annual cycle ...
Intrinsic and Atmospherically Forced Variability of the AMOC: Insights from a Large-Ensemble Ocean Hindcast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study investigates the origin and features of interannual?decadal Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variability from several ocean simulations, including a large (50 member) ensemble of global, ...
