The role of tropical and extra-tropical waves in the Hadley circulation
ABS Thakur, Jai Sukhatme, Nili Harnik
The tropical overturning circulation is examined in a moist aquaplanet general circulation model forced using a non-interactive sea surface temperature (SST) distribution that vari…

Changes in Seasonal Upper Tropical Momentum Fluxes with Global Warming
Abu Bakar Siddiqui Thakur, Jai Sukhatme
The boreal summer tropical upper-tropospheric momentum budget involves a balance between eddy and mean meridional fluxes. In winter, however, the eddy flux itself acts to accelerat…

Annual cycle and longitudinal structure of tropical eddy and mean momentum fluxes
Abu Bakar Siddiqui Thakur, Jai Sukhatme
The longitudinal structure and annual cycle of mean meridional and eddy momentum fluxes in the tropical upper troposphere are studied. In zonal mean, these two terms oppose each ot…
