African Easterly Waves and Cyclonic Activity over the Eastern Atlantic: Composite and Case Studies

Figure 2

Modulus of the wavelet analysis on the meridional wind at 700 hPa (a) in 1995 over the domain (27.5°W–15°W, 5°N–17.5°N). The line represents the mean genesis days of cyclones obtained from the Best Track of NHC. Modulus of the wavelet analysis in the 3–5-day band periods ( corresponds to the mean genesis day from NHC archives) performed over the domain (27.5°W–15°W, 5°N–17.5°N) for AEWs associated with cyclones (b).
