Seasonality of Tropical Instability Waves and Its Feedback to the Seasonal Cycle in the Tropical Eastern Pacific
Figure 3
Distributions of the root-mean-square of TIWs computed from (a) 50-year data and (b) climatological-mean for 50 years. The ratio between the two figures, (b)/(a), is represented in (c). TIWs were defined as the 50-day high-pass filtered meridional current averaged from the surface to a depth of 50 m. Units for (a) and (b) are [m/s]2.
