This study uses Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN) data in each season to identify the days with the most extreme precipitation (“EP days”) in the mid-Atlantic and northeast United States between 1979 and 2019. These days are sorted accordi

A review of the mean state over the tropical eastern Pacific (EPAC) and the Intra-Americas Sea (IAS) region is provided to assess the characteristics that impact the development and genesis of easterly waves (EWs). The EPAC–IAS region is characteri

This paper explores a new mechanism for in situ genesis of easterly waves (EWs) over the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean (EPAC). Using an idealized primitive equation model, it is shown that EWs can be triggered by finite-amplitude transient heating c

Taiwan regularly experiences precipitation extremes of hundreds of millimeters per day, especially between May and September. In this study, Taiwan’s extreme rainfall (ER) is analyzed over a 56-yr time period in different seasons and geographic reg

The dominant structural variability of African easterly waves (AEWs) is explored using an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) approach. The structure of AEWs is obtained by projecting the wind fields from reanalysis data and satellite-derived brightn
