Modeling the Transient Response of Tropical Convection to Mesoscale SST Variations

Upscale Impact of Mesoscale Disturbances of Tropical Convection on

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE On Wind, Convection, and SST Variations in the Northeastern Tropical Pacific Associated with the Madden–Julian Oscillation*

Lagged maximum covariance analysis (LMCA) is used to examine the intraseasonal variability of zonal wind, sea surface temperature (SST), and outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) in the northeastern tropical Pacific Ocean during Northern Hemisphere summertime. The analysis shows a strong temporal asymmetry in that wind and convection anomalies lead to SST anomalies, but SST anomalies are not follow...

Soliton response to transient trap variations

The response of bright and dark solitons to rapid variations in an expulsive longitudinal trap is investigated. We concentrate on the effect of transient changes in the trap frequency in the form of temporal delta kicks and the hyperbolic cotangent functions. Exact expressions are obtained for the soliton profiles. This is accomplished using the fact that a suitable linear Schrödinger stationar...

Response of convection to relative SST : Cloud - resolving 1 simulations in 2 D and 3

3 The properties of equilibrated tropical convection are studied using a cloud-resolving model 4 with large-scale dynamics parameterized by the weak temperature gradient (WTG) 5 approximation. Model integrations are carried out in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-6 dimensional (3D) geometries. The target profile towards which horizontal mean free 7 tropospheric temperature is relaxed is held...
