Case Study of Moisture and Heat Budgets within Atmospheric Rivers
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work studies moisture and heat budgets within two atmospheric rivers (ARs) that made landfall on the west coast of North America during January 2009. Three-dimensional kinematic and thermodynamic fields were constructed ...
Convective Momentum Transport Observed during the TOGA COARE IOP. Part II: Case Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective momentum transport (CMT) associated with the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), tropical waves, squall and nonsquall mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), and the diurnal cycle is studied by examining the momentum ...
Convective Momentum Transport Observed during the TOGA COARE IOP. Part I: General Features
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The momentum budget residual X = (X, Y) is estimated with objectively analyzed soundings taken during the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) intense observing ...
The Madden–Julian Oscillation Observed during the TOGA COARE IOP: Global View
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the TOGA COARE Intensive Observing Period (November 1992?February 1993), two pronounced Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) events associated with super cloud clusters and westerly wind bursts were observed. This paper ...
Multiscale Temporal Mean Features of Perturbation Kinetic Energy and Its Budget in the Tropics: Review and Computation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors examined the maintenance mechanisms of perturbation kinetic energy (PKE) in the tropical regions for multiple time scales by computing and analyzing its budget equation. The emphasis has been placed on the mean ...

Variability and Confidence Intervals for the Mean of Climate Data with Short- and Long-Range Dependence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents an adaptive procedure for estimating the variability and determining error bars as confidence intervals for climate mean states by accounting for both short- and long-range dependence. While the ...
Symmetric and Antisymmetric Convection Signals in the Madden–Julian Oscillation. Part I: Basic Modes in Infrared Brightness Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his work studies the significance of north?south asymmetry in convection associated with the 20?90-day Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) propagating across the equatorial Indo-Pacific warm pool region. Satellite infrared ...
A Systemic Analysis of Multiscale Deep Convective Variability over the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The multiscale tropical deep convective variability over the Pacific Ocean is examined with the 4-month high-resolution deep convection index (ITBB) derived from satellite imagery. With a systemic view, the complex phenomenon ...
Multiscale Temporal Variability of Warm-Season Precipitation over North America: Statistical Analysis of Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Directionally averaged time series of precipitation rates for eight warm seasons (1996?2003) over the continental United States derived from Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) measurements are analyzed using spectral ...
