RISInterannual Variations and Prediction of Spring Precipitation over China
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe interannual variations and the prediction of the leading two empirical orthogonal function (EOF) modes of spring (April?May) precipitation over China for the period from 1951 to 2014 are investigated using both ...
Modes of Tropical Variability under Convective Adjustment and the Madden–Julian Oscillation. Part I: Analytical Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction between the collective effects of cumulus convection and large-scale dynamics is examined using the Betts?Miller moist convective adjustment (MCA) parameterization in a linearized primitive equation model ...
Modes of Tropical Variability under Convective Adjustment and the Madden–Julian Oscillation. Part II: Numerical Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Convective interaction with dynamics (CID) dictates the structure and behavior of the eigenmodes of the tropical atmosphere under moist convective adjustment (MCA) when the convective adjustment time scale, τc, is much ...
Analytic Approximations for Moist Convectively Adjusted Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Solutions are obtained for convective regions in a continuously stratified, linearized primitive equation model using a smoothly posed moist convective adjustment parameterization of cumulus convection. In the approximation ...
Solutions for Tropical Vertical Motion under Convective Quasi-Equilibrium Constraints

Impacts of Vertical Structure of Large-Scale Vertical Motion in Tropical Climate: Moist Static Energy Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nteractions between cumulus convection and its large-scale environment have been recognized as crucial to the understanding of tropical climate and its variability. In this study, the moist static energy (MSE) budget is ...
Estimating the Gross Moist Stability of the Tropical Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent theoretical studies have indicated that large-scale circulation in deep convective regions evolves subject to an overall static stability?termed the gross moist stability?that takes into account both dry static ...
Quantitative Estimation of Reservoir Sedimentation from Three Typhoon Events
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Study of soil erosion in the reservoir watershed, the main source of reservoir sedimentation that affects the reservoir’s lifespan and capacity, is of vital importance for watershed management. Due mainly to the lack of ...
Interannual Variability of the Western North Pacific Summer Monsoon: Differences between ENSO and Non-ENSO Years
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interannual variability of the western North Pacific (WNP) summer monsoon is examined for the non-ENSO, ENSO developing, and ENSO decaying years, respectively. The ENSO developing (decaying) year is defined as the year ...
Convective Coupling in Tropical-Depression-Type Waves. Part I: Rainfall Characteristics and Moisture Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical-depression (TD)-type waves are synoptic-scale disturbances embedded with deep convection over the western North Pacific. Studies of these disturbances began over six decades ago; however, some properties of these ...
