Water vapor buoyancy and the African easterly jet
Heng Quan, Da Yang, William Boos +4
The African easterly jet (AEJ) is a prominent circulation feature in the tropical atmosphere. It transports mineral dust and generates easterly waves that serve as seeds for hurric…
Weakening and Shifting of the Saharan Shallow Meridional Circulation During Wet Years of the West African Monsoon
Ravi Shekhar, William R. Boos
The correlation between increased Sahel rainfall and reduced Saharan surface pressure is well established in observations and global climate models, and has been used to imply that…
Improving Energy-Based Estimates of Monsoon Location in the Presence of Proximal Deserts
Ravi Shekhar, William R. Boos
Two theoretical frameworks have been widely used to understand the response of monsoons to local and remote forcings: the vertically integrated atmospheric energy budget and convec…
Excitation of slow MJO-like Kelvin waves in the equatorial atmosphere by Yanai wave-group via WISHE-induced convection
Aviv Solodoch, William Boos, Zhiming Kuang +1
The intraseasonal Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) involves a slow eastward-propagating signal in the tropical atmosphere which significantly influences climate yet is not well unde…
