PPT-Convective Initiation and the Southwest Monsoon

Brian Guyer amp Deirdre Kann National Weather Service Albuquerque NM Project Summary OBJECTIVE Test the growing suite of convective initiation products to determine their potential to improve forecasts and detection of hazardous convective events during the North American monsoon season. Fig. 3: As in Fig. 2, but at ten days after convective initiation.. Preferred ENSO Phase within Each Composite. Fig. 1: Histogram of ONI (°C) for (a) real MJOs and (b) failed MJOs. The sample size, mean, and standard deviation of each subset are provided in the top left corner of each histogram.. as a random outcome of . time-dependent convection. Teresa Wong. Slava. .

Convective Initiation Problem. Modelers are continually trying to improve the initiation of convective activity in their solutions. How do you quantify that the model is improving convective initiation?. Weather Systems – Fall 2015. Outline:. a. Stability Indices. b. Wind Shear and . Helicity. c.

Monsoon in India lasts for 100-120 days . From early June to mid September. Before entering into India monsoon winds encounters with many atmospheric conditions all the way. What are monsoon circulations?. The word “monsoon” comes from Arabic to mean. Reversal of winds. Globally, there are several areas that are known for monsoon circulations:.

Let’s think about Southwest Food…. The Southwest. South Asian Monsoon
One of largest variations of seasonal to interannual climate observed on Earth

Affects lives, property and (largely agrarian) economies of countries inhabited by nearly 25% of human population … Key Message #1. 25. Ch. 25 | Southwest. Water Resources. The integrity of Southwest forests and other ecosystems and their ability to provide natural habitat, clean water, and economic livelihoods have declined as a result of recent droughts and wildfire due in part to human-caused climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions reductions, fire management, and other actions can help reduce future vulnerabilities of ecosystems and human well-being.. 1. Mian Chin.
