description abstractStrong convection in the tropical Pacific is found to be enhanced when low-level winds are westerly and poleward directed. This means that winds which blow opposite to the normal easterly, equatorward trade-wind flow are associated with strong convection. Linear regression demonstrates that about 30%?40% of the variance in conviction across the Pacific during the 1982?83 El Niño can be explained by low-level precipitable water plus the low-level winds.
