| Research Abstract |
The relationships between large-scale motion and moisture variations are investigated. The results indicate that moisture variations show a prominent 3-4-day period, ant the 3-4-day-period variations are strongly modulated by the significant diurnal cycle of sea surface temperature. The 3-4-day period variations are observed during the developing phase of Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and might play a significant role in the MJO development.
