ELDORA Data User's Guide for TOGA COARE

1994
The purpose of this technical note is to provide a concise User's Guide for the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) ELectra DOppler RAdar (ELDORA) data collected during the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Program Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE).

Rawinsonde Budget Analyses during the TOGA COARE IOP

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1996
Abstract During the 120 days of the TOGA COARE intensive observation period, there was an enhanced network of rawinsonde stations covering a large portion of the equatorial West Pacific. These soundings were of sufficient quality and frequency to permit computation of line integral beat and moisture budgets over a variety of large-scale arrays. In this

The MJO and Air–Sea Interaction in TOGA COARE and DYNAMO

Journal of Climate, 2015
Abstract Dynamics of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) and Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE) observations and reanalysis-based surface flux products are used to test theories of atmosphere–ocean interaction that explain the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO).

TOGA COARE: The Coupled Ocean—Atmosphere Response Experiment

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1992
Despite significant progress in the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, a number of major hurdles remain before the primary objective, prediction of the variability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system on time scales of months to years, can be achieved. Foremost among these hurdles is understanding the physics that maintains and perturbs

Impacts of Merging Profiler and Rawinsonde Winds on TOGA COARE Analyses

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 1997
During the intensive observing period of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment, a large number of collocated rawinsonde and profiler wind observations were taken at six Integrated Sounding System (ISS) sites and Biak, Indonesia.

Diurnal variation of tropical convection during TOGA COARE IOP

Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2005
Diurnal variation of tropical convection and kinematic and thermodynamic conditions was investigated for different large-scale environments of the convectively active and inactive periods by using satellite observations and surface measurements during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere/Coupled Ocean ...

Radiant heating of the western equatorial Pacific during TOGA‐COARE

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 1998
Optical, physical, and biological data collected in the western Pacific warm waterpool (WWP) as part of the Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere‐Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA‐COARE) are used to assess variations in the transmission of solar radiation through the water column, to investigate factors that regulate in‐water solar ...

Modification of Surface Fluxes by Atmospheric Convection in the TOGA COARE Region

Monthly Weather Review, 1996
Abstract The mesoscale variability of surface heat fluxes induced by atmospheric convection is studied by using 3D cloud explicit simulations and surface observations. Two convective cases observed during the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment are simulated (26 November 1992 and 17 February 1993) corresponding to different ambient surface ...

Observation of a Quasi-2-Day Wave during TOGA COARE

Monthly Weather Review, 1996
Abstract Detailed structure of the quasi-2-day oscillation observed in the active phase of the Madden–Julian oscillations during the intensive observation period of Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE IOP) was described.

The Impact of Ocean Surface Fluxes on a TOGA COARE Convective System

Monthly Weather Review, 1996
Abstract A two-dimensional cloud-resolving model is linked with a TOGA COARE flux algorithm to examine the impact of the ocean surface fluxes on the development of a tropical squall line and its associated precipitation processes. The model results show that the 12-h total surface rainfall amount in the run excluding the surface fluxes is about 80% of ...
