Abstract: This paper promotes a measure to validate the hydrostatic approximation via scaling the nontraditional Coriolis term (NCT) in the zonal momentum equation. To demonstrate the scaling, this study simulates large-scale flow forced by a prescribed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl078659
Abstract: Past cooling events in the Northern Hemisphere have been shown to impact the location of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and therewith induce a southward shift of tropical precipitation. Here we use high resolution coupled… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl079865
Abstract: Due to its importance for water availability in the tropics and subtropics, efficient tracking of the seasonal and long-term shifts of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is of great value. Current approaches, which are based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-20-0128.1
Abstract: The tropical zonal-mean precipitation distribution varies between having single or double peaks, which are associated with intertropical convergence zones (ITCZs). Here, the effect of this meridional modality on the sensitivity of the ITCZ to hemispherically… read more here.
