A study of the relationship between ageostrophy and dynamical periodicities of the tropical Pacific Boundary Layer

Creator:

McCandlish, Cole B.

Abstract:

Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic parameter (related to the divergence), and a parameter of mean PBL specific humidity. Sample spectra of these time series are...
