Atmosphere and Ocean During TOGA-COARE: Study of Multiscale Interactions Between Convective Systems, Ocean Temperature, and Intraseasonal Oscillations

摘要 ATM-9613772 Flatau，Piotr，加州大学圣地亚哥分校 标题：TOGA-COARE 期间的大气和海洋：对流系统、海洋温度和季节内振荡之间的多尺度相互作用的研究 这项资助支持的研究有助于了解控制向东传播的热带云团和降水区域运动的机制。 这些移动的大规模降水模式是热带气候的一些明显信号。 它们与所谓的马登-朱利安振荡 (MJO) 有关，这是热带环流中的季节内振荡。 该研究旨在研究季节内时间尺度上赤道对流与海面温度（SST）之间的相互作用。 要测试的标记为 ASCII 的假设是响应大气对流而产生的海温梯度影响与 MJO 相关的云团的传播和发展。

Abstract ATM-9613772 Flatau, Piotr University of California, San Diego Title: Atmosphere and Ocean During TOGA-COARE: Study of Multiscale Interactions Between Convective Systems, Ocean Temperature, and Intraseasonal Oscillations The research supported by the grant helps in understanding what mechanisms controls the movement of the eastward propagating tropical cloud clusters and precipitation regions. These moving large scale precipitation patterns are some of the pronounced signals in the tropical climate. They are associated with what is know as Maden-Julien Oscillation (MJO) which is an intra seasonal oscillation in the tropical circulation. The research proposed is to study the mutual interaction between the equatorial convection and the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) on intra-seasonal time scales. The hypothesis labeled ASCII to be tested is that the SST gradients generated in response to atmospheric convection, influence the propagation and development of cloud clusters associated with the MJO.
