Coupled Air-Sea-Land Interactions: Understanding the MJO Eastward Propagation and Maritime Continent Barrier Effect
… understand the physical processes affecting the eastward propagation of the MJO from the IO to the WP and improve MJO modeling and prediction. In contrast to many existing MJO studies, we use a novel approach of identifying and tracking MJO events through their large-scale precipitation. …

Enlarging the Union, Widening the Atlantic? : EU-US Relations and the Eastward Enlargement of the European Union.
… These trends are likely to be reinforced by the eastward enlargement of the European Union. The eastward expansion of the EU could lead to more European integration, a greater EU involvement in its new neighbourhood and beyond and a closer relationship with Russia. It is, therefore, likely that …

Observations of wave-mean flow interaction in the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent
… in this band produces large northward fluxes of eastward momentum and southward fluxes of temperature which affect the dynamics of the mean Undercurrent through the Reynolds stress divergence, and the Eliassen-Palm flux divergence. The waves produce a northward flux of eastward momentum, uv, …

Evolution of early Proterozoic passive-margin carbonate platform, Rocknest Formation, Wopmay Orogen, N.W.T., Canada
… Ga) passivemargin carbonate platform. It is an eastward-thinning prism, 0 to 1,100 m thick, extending for over 220 km parallel to strike, and over 200 k.m perpendicular to strike. It contains from west to east, slope, outer-shelf, shoaloomplex, and inner-shelf facies. Slope facies are …

Monsoon surges, tropical cyclones and extreme rainfall events in NW Madagascar
… the passage of tropical cyclone (TC) Cynthia, an eastward moving TC from the Mozambique Channel. The second flood event occurred in 1992and brought 347 mm of rainfall in 24 hours at Mahajanga due to the passage of TC Bryna, a westward moving TC from the Indian Ocean. Inter-annual rainfall …

Description and Dynamics of 50-Day Oscillations in the Western Tropical Region of the CME Model
… wavelength of about 500 km and a very slow eastward group velocity. Their period, phase speed and wavelength agree with observations (Johns et al. 1990).</p> <p>Calculation of the leading balance of terms from the full vorticity equation following a modal decomposition in the propagation …

Near-equatorial deep circulation in the Indian and Pacific oceans
… sections suggest that the current turns eastward at the equator. The northern sections show a large mass of the coldest water in the interior east of the Chain Ridge, augmenting the evidence that the DWBC observed south of the equator turns east at the equator rather than remaining on the …

Stream piracy and glacial diversion of Little Missouri River, North Dakota
… named, after a local landmark), which flowed eastward into pre-glacial Missouri River.</p> <p>The history of that portion of the Little Missouri River that flows ninety miles eastward from “The Bend” in T. 147 N., R. 101 W., to its junction with the Missouri River near the center of T. 148 N., …

A stratigraphic and sedimentologic analysis of the Tongue River and Sentinel Butte Formations (Paleocene), western North Dakota
… sequence. Tongue River strata were dispersed eastward across the North Dakota portion of the Williston basin by slow moving streams which drained a low-lying source area to the west. The gradient of the paleoslope was low and sediments were transported primarily in suspension. The fluvial …

Extension in high-grade terranes of the southern Omineca belt : evidence from paleomagnetism
… Fault (AF), has been defined paleomagnetically. Eastward apparent tilts are observed in the hanging wall of the east-dipping Kettle River Fault (KF), in the opposite sense to that expected in the hanging wall of the fault. These are juxtaposed, to the east, against westward apparent tilts north …

Upward-Shallowing Cycles (PACS) Of The Olney And Elmwood Members, Manlius Formation, New York
… PAC sequence which developed as a result of eastward progradation of tidal facies. Within this shallowing PAC sequence, paleoenvironments and paleogeography evolved episodically in response to widespread punctuation events at PAC boundaries. Within each PAC of the sequence, paleoenvironments …

A phylogeographic investigation of the mountain chickadee
… these occurred in the Great Basin and extended eastward into Arizona and the Rocky Mountains of Utah. The other occurred in locations west of the Great Basin, including the Sierra-Nevada Mountains and southern California. Patterns of divergence were not wholly consistent with the subspecific …

Water vapour transport from the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans and summer rainfall in southern Africa
… of the Southern Oscillation are marked by an eastward shift of the ascending branch of the Walker circulation, suppressing convection and thus reducing rainfall over the subcontinent.

The Agulhas current system above the intermediate level

Precursors to atmospheric blocking events
… synoptic-scale features from their normal eastward progression, causing extreme weather conditions for the duration of the blocking event. Blocking precursors, as indicators of meridional flow preceding the onset of strong Atlantic blocking episodes, have been identified by using a modified …

Coastal surface circulation of the Gulf of Cadiz from satellite altimetry measurements
… It reveals that in the western basin, positive (eastward) surface currents are mainly driven by westerly winds, while occasional westward flows are mostly dominated by geostrophic forces. In contrast, in the eastern basin, both eastward and westward flows are primarily driven by favourable winds. …

Equatorial ocean dynamics impacting upwelling west of the Galápagos Archipelago
… Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) as it flows eastward across the Pacific at the depth of the thermocline. It is hypothesized that the EUC upwells into the GCP as it reaches the topographical barrier of the Galápagos Archipelago. The path of the EUC in the vicinity of the archipelago is not …

A Geophysical Study of the Easternmost Piedmont: Brunswick County, Virginia
… of the fault zone. The fault zone flattens eastward over a short distance to a depth of 15 kms where it joins a near horizontal surface that cuts across the region. This surface is herein interpreted to be a decollement. The fault zone of this study is interpreted to be a part of the Eastern …
