RISMultiscale Phenomena in the Tropical Atmosphere over the Western Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Multiscale variabilities in the atmosphere over the tropical western Pacific during the 1979 Northern Hemisphere winter are studied with an aim at identifying possible interactions between phenomena of different spatial ...
Mechanisms of Short-Term Sea Surface Temperature Regulation: Observations during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analyses of ocean?atmosphere data from Tropical Oceans Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment indicate that short-term (weekly to monthly) fluctuations of SST in the western Pacific warm pool are ...
Multiscale Air–Sea Interactions during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two distinct intraseasonal oscillations (ISO) are found in the tropical ocean atmosphere in the western Pacific region during Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE). The ...
Observation of a Quasi-2-Day Wave during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Detailed structure of the quasi-2-day oscillation observed in the active phase of the Madden?Julian oscillations during the intensive observation period of Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere ...
Dominant Cloud Microphysical Processes in a Tropical Oceanic Convective System: A 2D Cloud Resolving Modeling Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dominant cloud microphysical processes associated with a tropical oceanic convective system are investigated based on a 2D cloud resolving simulation. The model is forced by the zonal-mean vertical velocity, zonal wind, ...
Interactions between Tropical Convection and Its Environment: An Energetics Analysis of a 2D Cloud Resolving Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The phase relation between the perturbation kinetic energy (K?) associated with the tropical convection and the horizontal-mean moist available potential energy (P) associated with environmental conditions is investigated ...
A Preliminary Study of the Tropical Water Cycle and its Sensitivity to Surface Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents the preliminary findings of an investigation of the water budget of tropical cumulus convection using the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble Model (GCEM). Results of an experiment designed to obtain a ?fingerprint? ...
Radiative–Convective Processes in Simulated Diurnal Variations ofTropical Oceanic Convection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the diurnal variation of tropical oceanic convection and its associated energy cycle as simulated by an anelastic cumulus ensemble model. The model includes subgrid turbulence, cloud ...
The Tropical Water and Energy Cycles in a Cumulus Ensemble Model. Part I: Equilibrium Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cumulus ensemble model is used to study the tropical water and energy cycles and their role in the climate system. The model includes cloud dynamics, radiative processes, and microphysics that incorporate all important ...
Mechanisms of Cloud-Radiation Interaction in the Tropics and Midlatitudes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Radiative forcing and latent heat associated with precipitation are the two most important diabatic processes that drive the circulation of the atmosphere. Clouds can affect radiation and vice versa. It is known that ...
