Dynamics of the tropical atmosphere and oceans /
"This brief introduction to the climatology of the tropics identifies a number of phenomena that characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the tropical climate. Planetary scale circulations include Hadley-like circulations, the more zonal Walker systems, westerly ducts, tropical uppe...
