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 ...

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).

Numerical simulation of tropical cumulus congestus during TOGA COARE [PDF]
Recent observational studies of tropical deep convection typically include some mention of cumulus congestus, a third mode of tropical convection, in addition to shallow trade cumulus and deep convection. This study analyzes congestus behavior in a multiday cloud‐resolving model simulation based on the Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean ...

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 ...

Intraseasonal Oscillations during the TOGA-COARE IOP
We examined the behavior of the convective activity and other meteorological variables such as divergence, velocity potential and total precipitable water, associated with the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) during the TOGA-COARE IOP from November 1992 to February 1993.

Explicit and Parameterized Realizations of Convective Cloud Systems in TOGA COARE
Convection and cloud processes are examined in a hierarchy of two-dimensional numerical realizations of cloud systems observed during the 19‐26 December 1992 period of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment.

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.

Australian involvement in TOGA-COARE: a journalistic view
TOGA-COARE was a major international field experiment in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean in 1992–93, aimed at providing data for understanding some presently obscure aspects of the ENSO phenomenon. Twenty nations were involved in COARE. Australian scientists from the Bureau of Meteorology, three Divisions of CSIRO, and from Monash, Flinders and ...
