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

题目：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。该研究得到基金的支持，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。这些移动的大尺度降水模式是热带气候中一些明显的信号。它们与所谓的麦登-朱利安振荡（MJO）有关，这是热带环流中的季节内振荡。本研究旨在研究赤道对流与海表温度在季节内时间尺度上的相互作用。标记为ASCII待检验的假设是，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.
