Impact of Surface Turbulent Fluxes on the Formation of Roll Vortices in a Mediterranean Windstorm
Abstract Roll vortices can have a significant influence on the exchanges of momentum, sensible heat and moisture throughout the boundary layer. They have been shown to reinforce air‐sea interactions under strong wind conditions. This raises the question of how air‐sea exchanges can, in turn, affect the roll vortices.

Abstract Accurate knowledge of the amount of diurnal warming present in sea surface temperature (SST) observations at different times and effective depths is important for multiple applications including the production of blended SST analyses. This work explores the ability of a modified Kantha‐Clayson‐type one‐dimensional mixed layer ocean model with ...

Abstract Deep tropical oceanic convection (TOC) is a prevailing component of the tropical atmosphere and plays a significant role in modulating global weather and climate. Despite its importance, prediction challenges remain, partly attributed to a lack of understanding of how TOC relates to its near‐storm environments.

Rains and Showers in OTREC; Weak Temperature Gradient Modeling
Abstract Rainfall in the tropics has been shown to be produced either by isolated but intense convective systems (showers regime) or widespread but weaker systems (rains regime). We examine significant rainfall systems observed in the OTREC project (Organization of Tropical East Pacific Convection) in order to tease out the physical mechanisms ...

Mid‐level dry air intrusions over the southern Maritime Continent
Many processes influence rainfall patterns observed across the Maritime Continent in southeast Asia. Dry air intrusions (a tropical–extratropical interaction) arriving in the southern Maritime Continent are due to upper level disturbances along the subtropical jet.

Large-Scale Atmospheric Circulation Features during TOGA-COARE IOP
The present paper analyzed the large-scale aspects of the atmospheric circulation features during the TOGA-COARE IOP period (November 1, 1992-February 28, 1993). Atmospheric conditions were in many ways similar to those typical of a developing warm episode over the equatorial eastern Pacific, including the frequent occurrence of the low-level westerly ...

Performance of Satellite Rainfall Estimation Algorithms during TOGA COARE
Abstract Over 50 satellite rainfall algorithms were evaluated for a 5° square region in the equatorial western Pacific Ocean during TOGA COARE, November 1992–February 1993. These satellite algorithms used GMS VIS/IR, AVHRR, and SSM/I data to estimate rainfall on both instantaneous and monthly timescales.

Diurnal Variations of Tropical Convection Observed during the TOGA-COARE.
Diurnal variations of tropical convection in the western Pacific are examined by using the data observed during the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere-Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA-COARE) Intensive Observing Period (IOP) (November 1992 to February 1993).
