Abstract: rocesses associated with the local amplification of easterly waves (EWs) in the east Pacific warm pool are explored. Developing EWs favor convection in the southwest and northeast quadrants of the disturbance. In nascent ...

Abstract: he background atmospheric state of the east Pacific warm pool in which easterly waves develop varies dramatically on intraseasonal time scales. East Pacific intraseasonal variability is well known to modulate local convective ...

Abstract: AbstractThe in situ generation of easterly waves (EWs) in the east Pacific (EPAC) is investigated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The sensitivity of the model to the suppression of EW forcing by ...

Abstract: AbstractThe atmospheric response to sea surface temperature (SST) variations forced by oceanic downwelling equatorial Rossby waves is investigated using an idealized convection-resolving model. Downwelling equatorial Rossby ...

Abstract: uring boreal summer (June?October), interactions between intraseasonal variability in the Eastern Hemisphere and east Pacific warm pool are often described as a local amplification of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), ...
