The project applies a balance of observational diagnosis and model experimentation to try to improve our understanding of fundamental features of tropical intra-seasonal variability (ISV) to improve the simulations of these features in global atmospheric models. This is to be accomplished by examining the coupling mechanism between ISV-associated precipitation, wind speed and latent heat flux anomalies, and the modulation of tropical synoptic-scale variability by the ISV. Observation-based studies focus on examination of the coupling between ISV-related precipitation, wind speed, and surface heat flux anomalies and their relation to shorter synoptic-scale variations using satellite data. Model sensitivity studies will focus on mechanisms of moisture-convection feedback, moisture-radiation feedback, wind-evaporation feedback, and the role of ocean-atmosphere coupling using ocean models of varying complexity. Broader impacts include graduate student training and curriculum enhancement.

该项目应用了观察性诊断和模型实验的平衡，以试图提高我们对热带季节内变异性（ISV）基本特征的理解，以改善全球大气模型中这些特征的模拟。 这是通过检查与ISV相关的降水，风速和潜在热通量异常之间的耦合机制，以及ISV对热带天气尺度变异性的调节。 基于观察的研究集中于检查与ISV相关的降水，风速和表面热通量异常之间的耦合，以及它们使用卫星数据与较短的概要变化之间的关系。 模型敏感性研究将重点介绍水分转化反馈，水分辐射反馈，风蒸发反馈以及使用各种复杂性海洋模型的海洋 - 大气耦合的作用。 更广泛的影响包括研究生培训和课程增强。
