The West African Sahel: A Review of Recent Studies on the Rainfall Regime and Its Interannual Variability (2013, background): “The relationship shifts as thewaves traverse theAfrican continent and also depends on latitude with respect to the AEJ [200].”
Convectively coupled equatorial waves (2009, background): “[79] The structure of EWs has been extensively documented and will not be presented here, especially since their vertical structure and scale are virtually indistinguishable from the MRG waves in Figure 14 [see Kiladis et al., 2006; Serra et al., 2008].”
Three-Dimensional Structure and Dynamics of African Easterly Waves. Part III: Genesis (2008, methodology): “By day 7 the original AEW trough has dispersed somewhat and is located in the mid-Atlantic.”
Tropical cyclogenesis in a tropical wave critical layer: easterly waves (2008, background): “In fact, since the wave trough is a preferred region for diabatic heating in tropical waves (or close to such; see Kiladis et al., 2006) and its longitude is at the center of the cat’s eye (Fig.”
African Easterly Waves during 2004—Analysis Using Objective Techniques (2007, background): “…and the initiation of AEWs is entirely consistent with earlier hypotheses of AEWs being initiated in central or eastern Africa and growing as they move westward, supported by barotropic and baroclinic energy exchanges (e.g., Carlson 1969a; Mekonnen et al. 2006; BT05; Kiladis et al. 2006).”
