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

ATM-9613772弗拉托，加州大学皮奥特分校，圣地亚哥标题：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多尺度相互作用的研究由赠款支持的研究有助于理解什么机制控制着向东传播的热带云团和降水区的移动。这些移动的大尺度降水模式是热带气候的一些明显信号。它们与所谓的Maden-Julien振荡(MJO)有关，MJO是热带环流中的一种季节内振荡。研究目的是在季节内时间尺度上研究赤道对流与海表面温度之间的相互作用。被标记为ASCII的假设是，响应大气对流而产生的SST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.
