Abstract: The time-longitude cross section of 30?60 day filtered equatorial outgoing longwave radiation indicates many occasions or irregular (or even westward) movement during the five winters of 1979?84. Such occasions are defined ...

Abstract: At times the 30?60 day filtered outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) perturbations exhibited a systematic eastward propagation across the equatorial Indian Ocean?western Pacific during the five summers (1 May?30 September) ...

Abstract: The energy equation was applied to specific limited to investigate the effect of barotropic and baroclinic processes upon area-averaged eddy kinetic energy during the northern winter. At 200 mb, area-averaged eddy kinetic ...

Abstract: In the present study a steady heat source is prescribed to be maximum at 28N and 100E, while a transient heat source specified at 20N oscillates in time with a period of 16 days and zonal wavenumbers 1 to 3. The basic ...

Abstract: Based on monthly mean satellite cloudiness data over the tropical belt between 25°S and 25°N from February 1965 to July 1973, covering 102 months, the intensity of interannual changes in perturbation cloudiness, as measured ...

Abstract: Some of the characteristic features of the summer monsoon circulation are investigated using 200 mb wind data operationally determined by the National Meteorological Center during three summers (1970?72). Three-year summer ...

Abstract: Empirical orthogonal function analysis was applied to outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data over three limited regions during the three winters of 1974?75, 1975?76 and 1976?77. Regional composite maps were constructed by ...

Abstract: Empirical orthogonal function analysis was applied to outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data obtained from NOAA polar orbiting satellites during the winter months in 1974?77, over the monsoon region extending from 50°E to ...

Abstract: The problem of finding the equatorial tropospheric response to a prescribed heat source is treated by using a linearized primitive system on a Mercator map projection. The diabatic heat source is assumed to be westward ...

Abstract: A scale analysis of large-scale tropical disturbances in a conditionally unstable atmosphere is made by using a Mercator map projection at the equator. The release of latent heat in convection is included through the CISK ...
