Abstract: Data from the 1972?73 El Niño event are used to study relationships between sea surface temperature (SST), surface wind, surface heat fluxes and rainfall in the tropical Pacific cast of the dateline. It is found that the ...

Abstract: Atmospheric static stability ahs a role in determining where and when deep convection can occur. Owing to a sparsity of upper-air stations through most of the tropics, satellites must be relied upon for stability information. ...

Abstract: Data from two aircraft flights in the marine atmospheric boundary layer are analyzed in an investigation of entrainment processes at the top of the well-mixed layer. Both days had strong wind shear across the inversion, ...

Abstract: The properties of updrafts and downdrafts through the entire depth of the marine atmospheric boundary layer are investigated using conditional sampling based on an indicator function derived from the vertical velocity time ...

Abstract: The properties of updrafts and downdrafts in the lower third of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) over the central Pacific Ocean are investigated using a conditional sampling technique. When the drafts are ...
