RISA Proposed Mechanism for the Intrusion of Dry Air into the Tropical Western Pacific Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent studies using data from the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere program?s Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) have shown that synoptic-scale areas of extremely dry air can occur in the troposphere ...
Rain Duration in Hawaiian Trade-Wind Rainbands—Aircraft Observation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained from aircraft observations conducted around the island of Hawaii during the 1985 Joint Hawaii Warm Rain Project was analyzed pertaining to the microphysical, thermodynamic and dynamic characteristics of ...
Observations of Upper-Tropospheric Influence on a Monsoon Trough over the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examined the synoptic evolution and internal structure of a monsoon trough in association with the deep equatorward intrusion of a midlatitude upper trough in the western North Pacific Ocean in June 2008. The ...
Tracking Pulses of the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ational field campaign aiming at atmospheric and oceanic processes associated with the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) was conducted in and around the tropical Indian Ocean during October 2011?March 2012. The objective of ...
Observations of a Super Cloud Cluster Accompanied by Synoptic-Scale Eastward-Propagating Precipitating Systems over the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The multiscale structure of a super cloud cluster (SCC) over the equatorial Indian Ocean, observed in November and December 2006, was investigated using data from satellite microwave sensors and surface-based radars. The ...
Lack of Westerly Wind Bursts in Unmaterialized El Niño Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe lack of westerly wind bursts (WWBs) when atmospheric intraseasonal variability (ISV) events occur from boreal spring to autumn is investigated by comparing two types of El Niño years with unmaterialized El Niño ...
On the Seasonal Cycle of the Tropical South Indian Ocean. Part I: Mixed Layer Heat and Salt Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractScale interactions in the coupled ocean and atmosphere of the tropics play a crucial role in shaping the climate state and its spatial and temporal variability. The mechanisms driving the seasonal cycles of mixed ...
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 ...
