Surface Fluxes and Tropical Intraseasonal Variability: a Reassessment [PDF]
The authors argue that interactive feedbacks involving surface moist enthalpy fluxes, both turbulent and radiative, are important to the dynamics of tropical intraseasonal variability.

Satellite‐Observed Vegetation Responses to Intraseasonal Precipitation Variability
There is limited understanding of how vegetation responds to intraseasonal modes of rainfall variability despite their importance in many tropical regions.

Intraseasonal Sea-Level Variability in the Persian Gulf [PDF]
AbstractSatellite observations are used to establish the dominant magnitudes, scales, and mechanisms of intraseasonal variability in ocean dynamic sea level (ζ) in the Persian Gulf over 2002–15. Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis applied to altimetry data reveals a basinwide, single-signed intraseasonal fluctuation that contributes ...

Intraseasonal variability in the Makassar Strait thermocline [PDF]
Intraseasonal variability [ISV] in the Makassar Strait thermocline is examined through the analysis of along-channel flow, regional sea level anomaly and wind fields from January 2004 through November 2006. The dominant variability of 45-90 day in the Makassar Strait along-channel flow is horizontally and vertically coherent and exhibits vertical ...

Coupled ocean–atmosphere interactions between the Madden–Julian oscillation and synoptic-scale variability over the warm pool [PDF]
A principal component analysis of the combined fields of sea surface temperature (SST) and surface zonal and meridional wind reveals the dominant mode of intraseasonal (30-70-day) co-variability during northern winter in the tropical Eastern Hemisphere ...

Intraseasonal variability and tides in Makassar Strait [PDF]
Intraseasonal variability and tides along the Makassar Strait, the major route of Indonesian throughflow, are investigated using spectral and time‐frequency analyses which are applied to sea level, wind and mooring data. Semidiurnal and diurnal tides are dominant features, with higher (lower) semidiurnal (diurnal) energy in the north compared to the ...

Influence of stratospheric sudden warming on the tropical intraseasonal convection
Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical troposphere, has recently been shown to have a great impact on Northern Hemisphere (NH) extratropical stratosphere.

The dynamics of wind-driven intraseasonal variability in the equatorial Indian Ocean [PDF]
This commentary provides a discussion of the concept of `bounded rationality' as it applies to the theses advanced by Lopes (1991) and Evans (1991). Lopes's (1991) assessment of the irrationalist consequences of Tversky and Kahneman's (1974) work on ...

The prediction of monsoonal precipitation during Indian summer monsoon (ISM) remains difficult. Due to the high correlation between the Central Indian Ocean (CIO) mode index and the ISM precipitation variability, the predictability limit of the CIO mode ...

Ocean temperature and salinity components of the Madden-Julian oscillation observed by Argo floats [PDF]
New diagnostics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) cycle in ocean temperature and, for the first time, salinity are presented. The MJO composites are based on 4 years of gridded Argo float data from 2003 to 2006, and extend from the surface to 1,400 ...
