The vertical structure of the eastern Pacific ITCZs and associated circulation using the TRMM Precipitation Radar and in situ data
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2016-08-16)
The atmospheric circulation associated with the eastern Pacific single and double ITCZs, particularly its vertical structure, is little known due to the sparce observations. Using precipitation profiles from the Tropical ...
Transient aspects of the Hadley circulation forced by an idealized off‐equatorial ITCZ
(2017)
This paper presents analytical solutions of large‐scale, zonally symmetric overturning circulations in the tropical free troposphere forced by transient diabatic heating in the off‐equatorial intertropical convergence zone ...
Impacts of different ENSO flavors and tropical Pacific convection variability (ITCZ, SPCZ) on austral summer rainfall in South America, with a focus on Peru
(Royal Meteorological Society, 2018-01)
El Niño in the eastern and central Pacific has different impacts on the rainfall of South America, and the atmospheric pathways through the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) ...
Impacts of different ENSO flavors and tropical Pacific convection variability (ITCZ, SPCZ) on austral summer rainfall in South America, with a focus on Peru
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2018-01)
El Niño in the eastern and central Pacific has different impacts on the rainfall of South America, and the atmospheric pathways through the South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) ...
Simulated sensitivity of the tropical climate to extratropical thermal forcing: tropical SSTs and African land surface
(Springer, 2016)
This study investigates the Intertropical Con- vergence Zone (ITCZ) response to extratropical ther- mal forcing applied to an atmospheric general circulation model coupled to slab ocean and land models. We focus on ...
A late Holocene paleoclimate reconstruction from Boqueirão Lake sediments, northeastern Brazil
(Brasil, 2014)
Lake level fluctuations and environmental changes during the late Holocene were inferred from changes in sedimentology, bulk and isotope organic geochemistry, and a diatom based transfer function in a sediment core from ...
Simple physical‑empirical model of the precipitation distribution based on a tropical sea surface temperature threshold and the effects of climate change
(Springer, 2018-03)
The observed nonlinear relationship between tropical sea surface temperature (Ts) and precipitation (P) on climate timescales, by which a threshold (Tc) must be exceeded by Ts in order for deep convection to occur, is ...
Skill of CMIP5 climate models in reproducing 20th century basic climate features in Central America
(2014-12)
A total of 107 climate runs from 48 Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 5 (CMIP5) general circulation models (GCMs) were evaluated for their ability to skillfully reproduce basic characteristics of late 20th century ...
