Sentences with phrase «precipitation over the tropical ocean»

In Relationships between Water Vapor Path and Precipitation over the Tropical Oceans, Bretherton et al showed that although the Western Pacific warmer surface waters increased the water in the atmosphere compared to the Eastern Pacific, rainfall was lower in the Western Pacific compared to the Eastern Pacific for equal amounts of water vapor in the atmospheric column — e.g., about 10mm / day in the Western Pacific, versus ~ 20mm / day in the Eastern Pacific at 55 mm water vapor, the peak of the distribution of water vapor amounts.

If precipitation increases over the tropical oceans, more than evaporation increases, the sea water salinity could decrease.

Tropical land - surface precipitation measurements indicate that precipitation likely has increased by about 0.2 to 0.3 % / decade over the 20th century, but increases are not evident over the past few decades and the amount of tropical land (versus ocean) area for the latitudes 10 ° N to 10 ° S is relativelTropical land - surface precipitation measurements indicate that precipitation likely has increased by about 0.2 to 0.3 % / decade over the 20th century, but increases are not evident over the past few decades and the amount of tropical land (versus ocean) area for the latitudes 10 ° N to 10 ° S is relativeltropical land (versus ocean) area for the latitudes 10 ° N to 10 ° S is relatively small.

Nonetheless, direct measurements of precipitation and model reanalyses of inferred precipitation indicate that rainfall has also increased over large parts of the tropical oceans.

Although previous studies have offered a general global overview of water circulation between the oceans and land, this traditional two - region model does not take into account the considerable precipitation that occurs over tropical coastal regions, including the Indonesian maritime continent, the Indian subcontinent, and the Bay of Bengal.

One year (August 1998ï ¿ 1/2 July 1999) of tropical rainfall estimates from the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) system were used to produce monthly means of rainfall diurnal cycles at hourly and 1ï ¿ 1/2 ï ¿ 1/2 1ï ¿ 1/2 scales over a domain (30ï ¿ 1/2 Sï ¿ 1/2 30ï ¿ 1/2 N, 80ï ¿ 1/2 Eï ¿ 1/2 10ï ¿ 1/2 W) from the Americas across the Pacific Ocean to Australia and eastern Asia.

This type of precipitation is very common from shallow cumulus clouds over tropical oceans.

It's a mode of natural variation in the tropical eastern Pacific ocean which is indicated by sea surface temperature in that region, as well as patterns of atmospheric pressure, surface winds over the ocean, even precipitation over a much larger region.

Correlations between ERA - Interim and TMPA over the tropical oceans are quite high where precipitation is high.
