Intraseasonal Variability: Processes, Predictability and Prospects for Prediction
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-04-11)The intraseasonal Oscillation (ISO) is a very strong and coherent mode of variability observed in the Earths climate. Rainfall variability in the intraseasonal timescale is particularly strong in the Tropics and it directly ... -
Role of Local Thermodynamic Coupling in the Life Cycle of the Intraseasonal Oscillation in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-08-23)Intraseasonal oscillations (ISOs) are important elements of the tropical climate with time-scales of 20-80 day. The ISO is poorly simulated and predicted by numerical models. This work presents a joint diagnostic and ... -
Variability of the South Pacific Convergence Zone and its influence on the general atmospheric circulation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-11-15)Intense atmospheric convection associated with the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) significantly impacts basin-scale circulation patterns over the Pacific. We explore dynamical processes which foster changes in ...
