Abstract: A shallow meridional circulation (SMC) in the tropical atmosphere features a low-level (e.g., 700 hPa) flow that is in the opposite direction to the boundary layer monsoon or trade wind flow and is distinct from the ...

Abstract: igh-amplitude convectively coupled equatorial atmospheric Kelvin waves (CCKWs) are explored over the tropical Atlantic during the boreal summer (1989?2009). Focus is given to the atmospheric environmental conditions that ...

Abstract: his paper explores a three-way interaction between an African easterly wave (AEW), the diurnal cycle of convection over the Guinea Highlands (GHs), and a convectively coupled atmospheric equatorial Kelvin wave (CCKW). These ...

Abstract: he diurnal cycle of tropical convection and the tropical cyclone (TC) cirrus canopy has been described extensively in previous studies. However, a complete understanding of the TC diurnal cycle remains elusive and is an ...

Abstract: The diurnal cycle of tropical convection and tropical cyclones (TCs) has been previously described in observational-, satellite-, and modeling-based studies. The main objective of this work is to expand on these earlier ...

Abstract: AbstractExtreme precipitation can have significant adverse impacts on infrastructure and property, human health, and local economies. This paper examines recent changes in extreme precipitation in the northeast United ...
