Diurnal variation of upper tropospheric humidity and its relations to convective activities over tropical Africa
Diurnal variations of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) as well as middle tropospheric humidity (MTH) were examined in conjunction with the diurnal cycle of convection over tropical Africa and the adjacent tropical Atlantic Ocean using Meteosat-8 measurements. Cloud and humidity features were also tracked to document the diurnal variations of humidity and clouds in the Lagrangian framework. A d...
متن کاملPDFs of Tropical Tropospheric Humidity: Measurements and Theory
The spatial variations in the probability density functions (PDFs) of relative humidity (RH) in the tropical and subtropical troposphere are examined using observations from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instruments together with a simple statistical model. The model, a generalization of that proposed by Sherwood et al., assumes the RH is determine...
متن کاملA distribution law for free-tropospheric relative humidity
The probability distribution of local relative humidity R in the free troposphere is explored by comparing a simple theoretical calculation with observations from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). The calculation is based on a parcel of air that conserves its composition during diabatic subsidence, until it is resaturated by randomly entering a convective...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Diurnal variation of upper tropospheric humidity and its relations to convective activities over tropical Africa” by E. S. Chung et al
In the revised version, we emphasized new results from EOF analysis and Lagrangian approach. Following sentence is added in the abstract: “The EOF analysis indicated that these diurnal variations over the African continent seem to be closely related to continental-scale daytime solar heating and topography. On the other hand, advection effect on the diurnal variation appeared to be minor becaus...
متن کاملInfective Causes of Stroke in Tropical Regions
Vascular diseases of the brain are the second reason of the death and the first cause of morbidity and disability worldwide. In tropical areas stroke has some particular features related to the nature of torrid zones. There are some special causes of the stroke, mainly infectious, although some of them are non-infectious. The most important etiologies are malaria, tuberculosis, cysticercosis, s...
