Abstract

Field measurements from the Central Equatorial Pacific Experiment (CEPEX) conducted from March 7 to April 5, 1993, are used to study the link between water vapour, convection, and sea surface temperature (SST) in a region of particular importance to global climate. The data are compared with results from a general circulation model (GCM). Three high-resolution simulations were carried out with slightly different initial conditions using European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses from March 1, 1993, and forced with the observed SST as lower boundary conditions. -from Authors
