Tropical squall lines of the Arizona monsoon.
… lines occasionally develop during the summer monsoon over southern Arizona and northwestern Mexico. Initial thunderstorm formation is over the mountains along the Continental Divide in the late afternoon. Satellite imagery, cloud-to-ground lightning strike data, and surface observations …

Axisymmetric theory and the interactive, asymmetric monsoon
… circulations to the large-scale steady monsoon is studied in a general circulation model with idealized representations of continental geometry and simple physics. The axisymmetric theory is expanded to explain the location of the monsoon; assuming quasi-equilibrium, the poleward …

East African monsoon variability since the last glacial
The impact of global warming on human water resources is attracting increasing attention. No other region in this world is so strongly affected by changes in water supply than the tropics. Especially in Africa, the availability and access to water is more crucial to existence (basic livelihoods and …

Reconstructing atmospheric changes in Monsoon regions using eolian dust
… in regions of dust transport also affected by monsoons to examine how different climate forcing mechanisms impact the monsoon regions over glacialinterglacial, orbital, and millennial timescales. This thesis generates new eolian dust records from two monsoon regions to reconstruct changes in …

Moisture transport associated with the summertime North American monsoon.
… Sonoran Desert for all fields considered. As the monsoon shifts from dry to wet conditions, the subtropical ridge shifts ∼5° latitude toward the north, and precipitable water increases by as much as ∼1.2 cm (∼0.5 inches). Parcels in the middle troposphere ascend into the region from the southeast, …

Zonally symmetric monsoon dynamics in a general circulation model
… setup to study steady zonally averaged monsoon circulations. Two dimensional model runs are made with a zonally symmetric continent north of 15N and a slab ocean of uniform sea surface temperature to study the applicability of axisymmetric theory. Forcing to drive the monsoon is applied …

Stratified and stirred: Monsoon freshwater in the Bay of Bengal
… ocean’s potentially coupled interactions with Monsoon winds and convection. The region’s excess precipitation and runoff generates strong salinity gradients that typically set density fronts and stratification in the upper 50 m. Since we cannot synoptically measure currents containing …

Holocene variations in the strength of the Indian Monsoon system
The monsoon is an important component of the Earth’s climate system. It played a vital role in the development and sustenance of the largely agro-based economy in India. A better understanding of past variations in the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) is necessary to assess its nature under global …

SURFACE AND AEROSOL EFFECTS ON THE SOUTH ASIAN MONSOON HYDROCLIMATE
… targets important couplings in the South Asian monsoon system at interannual or longer time-scales and associated processes and mechanisms: aerosol-hydroclimate, atmosphere-ocean, and land-atmosphere. Anomalous springtime absorbing aerosols loading over the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) leads to …

On the structure and dynamics of the Asian monsoon anticyclone
The Asian summer monsoon circulation has been the subject of continuous research for several decades. Much emphasis has been given to the lower level cyclone, but while various models and mechanisms have been proposed to explain certain features of the upper level anticyclone, like the zonal scale …

Evaluating the trend and impact factors of Southeast Asian monsoon
… and livelihood rely on water supply from the monsoon precipitation during the rainy season. However, SEA monsoon system is still understudied. Here, we focus on the Mainland SEA monsoon because of its geographical simplicity. We find that the total precipitation of the Mainland SEA monsoon has …

Arabian Sea mixed layer deepening during the monsoon : observations and dynamics
… mixed layer deepening and cooling driven by the monsoon is analyzed using a recently collected (1994-95) dataset of concurrent local air-sea fluxes and upper ocean dynamics from the Arabian Sea. The winter northeast monsoon has moderate wind forcing and a strongly destabilizing surface buoyancy …

The upper ocean response to the monsoon in the Arabian Sea
… the early northeast (NE) and late southwest (SW) monsoon seasons, are both associated with the propagation of mesoscale eddies. During the NE monsoon, the heat fluxes within the mixed layer are not significantly different from zero, and the large heat flux comes from advected changes in the …
