A case study of the formation of an Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone
… flow, with emphasis on tracing the easterly wave which is associated with the formation of Fefa. The data show that the easterly wave propagated across the Caribbean Sea and the Central American mountains, and the initial circulation developed while the wave had moved into the …

A Cumulus Parameterization Study With Special Attention to the Arakawa-Schubert Scheme (semi-Prognostic, Meso-Scale Simulation)
… band event; the other is for tropical composite easterly wave disturbances. Both were observed in GATE. The cloud heating and drying effects predicted by the Arakawa-Schubert scheme are found to agree rather well with the observations. However, it is also found that the Arakawa-Schubert scheme …

Wildfires in the Cape floristic region : exploring vegetation and weather as drivers of fire frequency
… of the southern-most extent of a tropical easterly wave low were correlated to frequency fire events in the western study areas. Fires in the eastern study areas were correlated to a synoptic state characteristic of a tropical temperate trough. Easterly wave lows are associated with strong …

Sediment circulation in mixed gravel and shingle bayhead beaches on the South East Dorset coast.
… with prevailing and dominant south westerly wave regimes; prolonged periods of south easterly wave climates influence the foci of wave energy and cause significant littoral drift and exposure of the chalk platform. The offshore data used were derived from available sources and supplemented by …

Dusty gust fronts and their contributions to long-lived convection in West Africa/
… and are substantially longer than the typical wavelength of an an African Easterly Wave (AEW). These stripes are used to study the relationships among MCS development, extent, and propagation distance: MCSs with greater squall line lengths propagate greater distances on average, but no evidence …

Southern African dust sources as identified by multiple space borne sensors
… and West Coast Troughs, and Westerly and Easterly Wave lows. This enhances our ability to predict such events, in particular, if transport acts as the limiting driver. Some of these find ings also have the potential to enhance our knowledge of the aerosol generation process elsewhere. The …

Mechanisms of Interactions between Aerosol Physics and Atmospheric Dynamics
… linked to high-frequency atmospheric wave activity across the tropical Atlantic storm tracks, while the variability of smoke particles from the South African biomass burning is attributed by low-frequency oscillations of baroclinic instability of the region. We proposed that the …
