Dynamical connection between Great Plains low-level winds and variability of central Gulf States precipitation
The Great Plains low-level jet has been related to summer precipitation over the northern Great Plains and Midwest through its moisture transport and convergence at the jet exit area. Much less studied has been its negative relationship with precipitation over the southern Great Plains and the Gulf coastal area. This work shows that the southerly low-level winds at 30°–40°N over the southern Gr...
متن کاملAMO-Forced Regional Processes Affecting Summertime Precipitation Variations in the Central United States
Numerous previous studies have provided insight into the influence of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) on North American precipitation. However, these studies focused on large-scale processes, and additional studies are needed to gain understanding of local and regional processes that develop in different phases of the AMO and substantiate its influences on precipitation. In this stu...
متن کاملInterannual Variability of the U.S. Summer Precipitation Regime with Emphasis on the Southwestern Monsoon
Relationships between the interannual variability of the U.S. summer precipitation regime and the intensification, weakening, or changes in position of the climatological-mean circulation features that organize this regime are examined. The focus is on the atmospheric conditions over the conterminous United States relative to wet and dry monsoons over the southwestern United States. The onset o...
متن کاملThe changing influence of El Niño on the Great Plains low-level jet
This study finds that the El Niño influences on the summer Great Plains low-level jet (GPLLJ) are different for the Central Pacific (CP) and Eastern Pacific (EP) types during their decaying phases. While the CP El Niño induces negative sea level pressure anomalies over the Gulf of Mexico to drive anomalous northerly winds weakening the GPLLJ, the EP El Niño intensifies theGPLLJ by inducing anom...
