A Shallow CISK, Deep Equilibrium Mechanism for the Interaction between Large-Scale Convection and Large-Scale Circulations in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the circulations driven by deep heating and shallow heating are investigated through analytically solving a set of linear equations and examining circulations simulated by a dry primitive equation model. ...
The Completeness of Eigenfunctions of the Tidal Equation on an Equatorial Beta Plane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The approximate tidal theory on an equatorial beta plane has been widely applied to tropical atmospheric dynamics. There are many successful examples of such applications. However, the mathematical and physical origin of ...
The Role of Ocean Dynamics in the Interaction between the Atlantic Meridional and Equatorial Modes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines a mechanism of the interaction between the tropical Atlantic meridional and equatorial modes. To derive robust heat content (HC) variability, the ensemble-mean HC anomalies (HCA) of six state-of-the-art ...
Fast Multidimensional Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition Using a Data Compression Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he process of obtaining key information on climate variability and change from large climate datasets often involves large computational costs and removal of noise from the data. In this study, the authors accelerate the ...
Deep Atlantic Ocean Warming Facilitated by the Deep Western Boundary Current and Equatorial Kelvin Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIncreased heat storage in deep oceans has been proposed to account for the slowdown of global surface warming since the end of the twentieth century. How the imbalanced heat at the surface has been redistributed ...
Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies off Baja California: A Possible Precursor of ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any recent studies have shown that observed El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events are spatially and temporally diverse and that they have undergone changes in characteristics. To quantitatively capture these features, ...
Changes in the Amplitude of the Temperature Annual Cycle in China and Their Implication for Climate Change Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: limate change is not only reflected in the changes in annual means of climate variables but also in the changes in their annual cycles (seasonality), especially in the regions outside the tropics. In this study, the ensemble ...
Enhanced Feedback between Shallow Convection and Low-Level Moisture Convergence Leads to Improved Simulation of MJO Eastward Propagation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Rayleigh Friction, Newtonian Cooling, and the Linear Response to Steady Tropical Heating
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of studies are performed to examine the response of the tropical atmosphere to a prescribed steady, large-scale, elevated heat source (i.e., a region of persistent precipitation). Special emphasis is placed on the ...
Vertical Structure of Convective Heating and the Three-Dimensional Structure of the Forced Circulation on an Equatorial Beta Plane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the three-dimensional structure of the thermally forced atmosphere on an equatorial ? plane is investigated. Special emphasis is placed on the relations between the vertical structure of heating and the ...
