A spectral analysis of lower tropospheric winds, observed by the Boundary Layer Radar (BLR) at Serpong (60S, 1070E) in West Java, Indonesia during 1992/93, 1993/94, and 1994/95 rainy seasons reveals a pronounced spectral peak, at a period near 4 days. Filtered analysis of this quasi 4 day mode (Q4DM) shows almost an in-phase structure in the vertical. The CANAL (Global Objective Analysis by Japan Meteorological Agency) data for 1992/93 rainy seasons shows that in general the meridional wind component, at the altitude 700 hPa, has a westward phase propagation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
