| 内容記述 | The characteristic features, the diurnal cycle, and the spatial distribution of deep convection over the equatorial Pacific and the relationship of deep convection to SST and surface-wind convergence were examined using a combined visible-IR (VS-IR) threshold method and an IR-only threshold method for diagnosing deep convection clouds (DCCs). Results suggest that deep convection is latitudinally confined to a much smaller spatial scale than that suggested by maps of outgoing long-wave radiation. The results suggested that there are two types of relationships between deep convection, SST, and surface-wind convergence: the west Pacific type and the east Pacific type. The latter relationship is observed in the east Pacific only when SST is not abnormally warm. |
