چکیده

The relationship between all-India summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) and the timing of (El Niño– Southern Oscillation) ENSO-related warming/cooling is investigated, using observational data during the period from 1881 to 1998. The analysis of the evolutions of Indo-Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies suggests that when ISMR is not below normal despite the co-occurrence of an El Niño event, warming over the eastern equatorial Pacific starts from boreal winter and evolves early so that the westerncentral Pacific and Indian Ocean are warmer than normal during the summer monsoon season. In contrast, when the more usual El Niño–dry ISMR relationship holds, the eastern equatorial Pacific starts warming rapidly only about a season before the reference summer so that the western-central Pacific and Indian Oceans remain cold during the monsoon season.

notES And corrESPondEncE Influence of the Sea Surface temperature in the Indian ocean on the In-Phase transition between the South Asian and north Australian Summer Monsoons

In this study we investigate the physical processes underlying maintenance of an in-phase transition between the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) and the succeeding North Australian summer monsoon (NASM). In particular, our attentions were focused on identification of the roles of sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the Indian Ocean in contrast to that of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation...

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Role of Narrow Mountains in Large-Scale Organization of Asian Monsoon Convection*

The Asian summer monsoon is organized into distinct convection centers, but the mechanism for this organization is not well understood. Analysis of new satellite observations reveals that narrow mountain ranges are an important organizing agent anchoring monsoon convection centers on the windward side. The Bay of Bengal convection, in particular, features the heaviest precipitation on its easte...

Some notes on the characterization of two dimensional skew cyclic codes

‎‎A natural generalization of two dimensional cyclic code ($T{TDC}$) is two dimensional skew cyclic code‎. ‎It is well-known that there is a correspondence between two dimensional skew cyclic codes and left ideals of the quotient ring $R_n:=F[x,y;rho,theta]/_l$‎. ‎In this paper we characterize the left ideals of the ring $R_n$ with two methods and find the generator matrix for two dimensional s...

I was given the task of accessioning Professor Max Crawford's private papers at the University of Melbourne Archives in the summer of 1993. The contradictions of his life emerged from the tattered suitcases and boxes that enclosed his correspondence, diaries and papers. Many of the papers and the mass of tutorial notes were randomly stored, but a semblance of order existed in the folders docume...

NOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE Evaluation of a Long-Term (1882–2005) Equivalent Temperature Time Series

A 124 (1882–2005) summer record of total surface energy content consisting of time series of surface equivalent temperature (TE) and its components T (mean air temperature) and Lq/cp (moist enthalpy, denoted Lq) is developed, quality controlled, and analyzed for Columbus, Ohio, where long records of monthly dewpoint temperature are available. The analysis shows that the highest TE occurs during...
