Interactive comment on “Meteorological context of the onset and end of the rainy season in Central Amazonia during the 2014–15 Go-Amazon Experiment” by Jose A. Marengo et al
نویسنده
چکیده
Broadly speaking, the influence of the MJO on precipitation over the tropics occurs by eastward propagation of Rossby wave trains from the tropical Pacific Ocean (Muza et al. 2009). Previous observational and modeling studies generally indicated that MJO and ENSO has a decadal variation and seasonal dependence (Tang and Yu, 2008; Hendon et al. 2007), however, them has not been well identified due to nonlinear in nature. These studies also show significantly lagged correlations between MJO and ENSO indices.

This research has great impact, since the determination of the dry and rainy season of the Amazon is important not only locally but for the distribution of humidity in the rest of the South American continent. Studies with high frequency data are highly desirable as they describe in detail the characteristics of the region. In this context, this work is able to encompass the local characteristi...

Season is the natural pattern of change in nature, which is related to the movement of the sun, the temperature cycle, the life cycle of the earth (phenology) and human culture. In astronomical and climatic seasons, a year divided into four seasons, spring, and summer, autumn and winter (Alsop, 2005), (Trenberth, 1983). Season is a period of the year with a homogeneous climate (Alsop, 1989), th...
متن کاملInterannual Variability of the Rainy Season and Rainfall in the Brazilian Amazon Basin
Interannual variability of seasonal rainfall in the Brazilian Amazon basin is examined in context of its relationship to sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Linear correlations reveal strong relationships, but rainfall patterns are of regional scale. Areas of rainfall exhibiting strong relationships with SST are confined to the equatorial region of the Brazilia...
متن کاملInfluence of Cold Air Intrusions on the Wet Season Onset over Amazonia
Using 15-yr data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Re-Analysis (ERA15), the authors found that rapid southeastward expansion of the rainy area from the western Amazon to southeastern Brazil is a result of midlatitude cold air intrusions. During austral spring, as the large-scale thermodynamic structure over Amazonia becomes destabilized, the incursions of extratropical...
متن کاملGlobal health diplomacy: a ‘Deus ex Machina’ for international development and relations; Comment on “A Ghost in the Machine? Politics in Global Health Policy”
Brugha and Bruen (2014) raise a number of compelling issues related to the interaction between politics and policy in the global health context. The first question that their views invite is whether this is, at heart, best characterized as a benign or malign influence. Many commentators have suggested that this overlap should be discouraged (see, for example, Marseille et al 2002; Thomas & Webe...
