Abstract: The mechanism by which a vertically sheared zonal flow affects large-scale, low-frequency equatorial waves is investigated with two-level equatorial,?-plane and spherical coordinates models. Vertical shears couple barolinic ...

Abstract: The stability of equatorial Rossby waves in the presence of mean flow vertical shear and moisture convergence-induced heating is investigated with a primitive equation model on an equatorial ? plane. A vertical shear alone ...

Abstract: The tropical intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) exhibits pronounced seasonality. The boreal summer ISO is more complex than its winter counterpart due to the coexistence of equatorial eastward, off-equatorial westward, and ...

Abstract: Over the warm pool of the equatorial Indian and western Pacific Oceans, both the climatological mean state and the processes of atmosphere?ocean interaction differ fundamentally from their counterparts over the cold tongue ...

Abstract: atellite observations between 2007 and 2015 are used to characterize the annual occurrence of the premonsoon drought (PMD), which causes human death and economic hardship in India, and to postulate its scientific causes. ...

Abstract: Many years of high-resolution measurements by a number of space-based sensors and from Lagrangian drifters became available recently and are used to examine the persistent atmospheric imprints of the semipermanent meanders ...
