Interactions between Water Vapor and Potential Vorticity in Synoptic-Scale Monsoonal
Disturbances: Moisture Vortex Instability in: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences Volume 75 …

Most extreme precipitation in the densely populated region of central India is produced by
atmospheric vortices called monsoon lows and monsoon depressions. Here we use satellite …

The weak temperature gradient (WTG) approximation is extended to the basic equations on
a rotating plane. The circulation is decomposed into a diabatic component that satisfies WTG …

Although monsoon depressions are a principal synoptic‐scale element of the South Asian
monsoon, producing extreme rainfall over India and surrounding regions, there exists no …

This study makes the case that monsoon depressions over South Asia can form from a
variant of moist barotropic instability. Using an idealized numerical framework in which the …

In recent years India has been increasingly experiencing widespread floods induced by
large‐scale extreme rainfall events (LEREs). LEREs are mainly associated with monsoon …

Transient, synoptic-scale vortices produce a large fraction of total rainfall in most monsoon
regions and are often associated with extreme precipitation. However, the mechanism of …

A linear two-layer model is used to elucidate the role of prognostic moisture on
quasigeostrophic (QG) motions in the presence of a mean thermal wind (u¯ T). Solutions to …

The moist static energy (MSE) budget is widely used to understand moist atmospheric
thermodynamics. However, the budget is not exact, and the accuracy of the approximations …
