  47. Lag-height regressions of OSA specific humidity vs. moisture budget-derived rainrate. The data are progressively regridded to coarser time intervals ((a) 6 h, (b) 1 day, and (c) 4 days), and a light high-pass filter is used for each panel (cutoff period six times the lag window width). (d) The original unfiltered 6 h data are used, with a very wide lag window. Contour unit is 0.1 g/kg per mm/h. from Mapes et al. 2006

  48. Conclusion 1: Large scale atmospheric waves modulate waves and convection (along with the diurnal cycle) on smaller scales Conclusion 2: A portion of tropical convective activity is organized by equatorially trapped waves of Matsuno’s shallow water theory
