Propagating and standing components of the intraseasonal oscillation in tropical convection

Various questions related to the intraseasonal variability of tropical convection and circulation are examined. A series of statistical analyses of gridded outgoing longwave radiation and winds to quantify the magnitudes of the propagating and standing components of convection and their coherence wi...

Description
Summary:Various questions related to the intraseasonal variability of tropical convection and circulation are examined. A series of statistical analyses of gridded outgoing longwave radiation and winds to quantify the magnitudes of the propagating and standing components of convection and their coherence with the propagating component of the circulation is undertaken.
