RISCharacteristics of Precipitation, Cloud, and Latent Heating Associated with the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the evolution of cloud and rainfall structures associated with Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data. Two complementary indices are used to define MJO ...
Principal Modes of Rainfall–SST Variability of the Asian Summer Monsoon: A Reassessment of the Monsoon–ENSO Relationship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using global rainfall and sea surface temperature (SST) data for the past two decades (1979?98), the covariability of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM) and El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) was investigated. The findings ...
Hydrologic Processes Associated with the First Transition of the Asian Summer Monsoon: A Pilot Satellite Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results of a pilot study of the evolution of large-scale hydrologic processes associated with the first transition of the Asian summer monsoon in conjunction with the launching of the South China Sea Monsoon Experiment ...
The Role of Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation in the Relationship between Tropical Convection and Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the authors study the influence of the large-scale atmospheric circulation on the relationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and tropical convection inferred from outgoing longwave radiation (OLR). ...
Effects of Cloud Microphysics on Tropical Atmospheric Hydrologic Processes and Intraseasonal Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of tropical atmospheric hydrologic processes to cloud microphysics is investigated using the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) general circulation model (GCM). Results show that a faster autoconversion ...
