Daily surface wind variations over the equatorial Pacific Ocean
Daily surface wind variations over the equatorial eastern Pacific Ocean during summer 1992 are documented, using hourly observations from the tropical atmosphere ocean moored buoy array. Diurnal and semidiurnal variations are apparent in the zonal wind component, with peak-to-peak amplitudes of a few tenths of a meter per second. The phase of the semidiurnal cycle in zonal wind is approximately...
متن کاملBreakdown of ITCZ-like PV Patterns
This study uses a shallow-water, normal-mode spectral model to examine the non-linear potential vorticity (PV) dynamics of the break¬down of both infinite an finite-length initial vorticity strips, simulating the inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) found near the tropical eastern Pacific region. Irregularities in convection and diabatic heating are simulated using uniformly and randomly spac...
متن کاملThe Eastern Pacific ITCZ during the Boreal Spring
The 6-yr (1998–2003) rainfall products from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) are used to quantify the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the eastern Pacific (defined by longitudinal averages over 90°–130°W) during boreal spring (March–April). The double-ITCZ phenomenon, represented by the occurrence of two maxima with respect to latitude in monthly mean rainfall, is observed...
متن کاملVARIABILITY OF THE MARINE ITCZ OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC DURING THE PAST 30,000 YEARS Regional Perspective and Global Context
The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is manifested as a circum-global atmospheric belt of intense, moist convection and rainfall, marking the confluence of the northern and southern trades and the rising branch of the Hadley cell. It regulates the hydrologic cycle over the tropical continents and interacts tightly with the tropical oceans, notably with the seasonal appearance of the equato...
