An Analysis of the Moisture and Moist Static Energy Budgets in AMIP Simulations
Boykin, Kristine (2016-09)An analysis of the second phase of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project (AMIP) simulations has been conducted to understand the physical processes that control precipitation in the tropics. This is achieved ... -
Modulation of chlorophyll concentration by the Indian Ocean Dipole
Stansell, ShelbyThe Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a climate mode that causes changes in the Indian Ocean sea surface temperature and precipitation. The IOD affects precipitation in far reaching areas such as Africa and Japan. It also impacts ... -
Relative roles of circumnavigating waves and extratropics on the MJO and its relationship with the mean state
Ray, Pallav; Li, Tim (2013-03)A set of atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) experiments is designed to explore the relative roles of the circumnavigating waves and the extratropics on the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO). In a "control" simulation, ... -
Role of Topography and Land-Sea Contrast on Precipitation in the Maritime Continent during Madden-Julian Oscillation Propagation
Tan, Haochen (2021-07)The Maritime Continent (MC) is the largest archipelago located between the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. The MC is surrounded by warm seas surface temperatures that leads to deep convection, which is also modulated ... -
The role of topography in precipitation on the maritime continent
Barnett, MichaelThe topography and abundant moisture supply of the Maritime Continent (MC) combine to produce copious precipitation amounts as sea breezes converge and interact with mountains. Therefore, the MC is a good region to study ... -
Statistics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) amplitude
Harris, TiaThe MJO is the dominant intraseasonal (20-100 day) variability in the tropics. It propagates eastward at 5 m/s. An MJO event is separated into eight phases that correlates to the location of the MJO event. An MJO is measured ... -
Surface Cooling Due to Precipitation in the Tropics
Gomes Martins Ramos, Camila (2016-07)Precipitation is an important component of the global hydrological cycle. It affects the upper ocean salinity by adding freshwater to the ocean. In addition, precipitation plays a role in cooling the ocean and land surfaces, ...
