RISAn Increasing Trend in the Early Winter Precipitation during Recent Decades along the Coastal Areas of the Sea of Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractLong-term changes in the monthly precipitation along the coastal areas of the Sea of Japan are examined using monthly operational observation data from the Japan Meteorological Agency. The monthly precipitation in ...
Differences between More Divergent and More Rotational Types of Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves. Part I: Space–Time Spectral Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: recipitation-related differences in different types of convectively coupled equatorial waves are examined here and in a companion paper. Here the authors show spectra and cross-spectra among tropical-belt time sections of ...
Differences between More Divergent and More Rotational Types of Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves. Part II: Composite Analysis based on Space–Time Filtering
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes an analysis of multiyear satellite datasets to characterize the modulations of convective versus stratiform rain, rain system size, and column water vapor by convectively coupled equatorial waves. ...
Differences between Faster versus Slower Components of Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper describes an analysis of multiyear satellite datasets that subdivide two halves (faster and slower) of the space?time spectral signal peaks corresponding to convectively coupled equatorial waves such as Kelvin ...
Numerical Simulations of the Formation of Melting-Layer Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A number of previously published observational studies have reported the common occurrence of cloudy layers at around 5-km elevation in the tropics. There are two candidate processes that are able to explain the occurrence ...
Space–Time Spectral Analysis of the Moist Static Energy Budget Equation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The budget of column-integrated moist static energy (MSE) is examined in wavenumber?frequency transforms of longitude?time sections over the tropical belt. Cross-spectra with satellite-derived precipitation (TRMM-3B42) are ...
Numerical Study on the Precipitation Concentration over the Western Coast of Sumatra Island

Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation Observed in the Western Coastal Area of Sumatra Island: Offshore Preconditioning by Gravity Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis study analyzes data obtained by intensive observation during a pilot field campaign of the Years of the Maritime Continent Project (Pre-YMC) to investigate the diurnal cycle of precipitation in the western ...
Characteristics of 3–4- and 6–8-Day Period Disturbances Observed over the Tropical Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A field observational campaign [i.e., the Mirai Indian Ocean cruise for the Study of the MJO-convection Onset (MISMO)] was conducted over the central equatorial Indian Ocean in October?December 2006. During MISMO, large-scale ...
Melting Layer Cloud Observed during R/V Mirai Cruise MR01-K05
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, cloud profiling radar and lidar were used to determine the frequency distribution of the base heights of cloudy layers with little (or no) falling condensate particles. The data were obtained from stationary ...
