| Abstract: |
| I am a co-PI on an NSF-sponsored grant entitled "Analysis and modeling of convectively coupled equatorial waves and the Madden-Julian Oscillation" (ATM-0527412). Patrick Haertel (University of North Dakota), George Kiladis (NOAA) and I are seeking to explore the dynamical thermodynamical and rainfall characteristics of convectively coupled equatorial waves (Kelvin waves, mixed Rossby-gravity waves, and equatorial Rossby waves) in models and compare these results to observations. One proposed avenue of our research is to construct composite waves from both model output and observational fields, force a simple model with these fields, and analyze differences in the response to determine the essential characteristics of both the models and the observations. |
