On the Relationship Between Tropical Instability Waves and Intraseasonal Equatorial Kelvin Waves in the Pacific From Satellite Observations (1993–2018)
Intraseasonal Kelvin waves (IKWs) and Tropical Instability Waves (TIWs) are essential components of the tropical Pacific coupled climate variability. While downwelling IKWs are precursors of ENSO (e.g., the El Niño Southern Oscillation), TIWs contribute to its asymmetry by mixing more/less warm off-...
