Observations of Equatorial Kelvin Wave Modes in FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC GPS RO Temperature Profiles
In this study, we analyze FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC (F3/C) GPS radio occultation (RO) derived temperature components for the period September 2006 to February 2008. Results show the presence of slow Kelvin waves (wave period > 10 days) with higher zonal wavenumbers (either one or two) in the upper tropos...
