Easterly Jet Dynamics

Easterly Jet Dynamics is a theoretical construct within tropical atmospheric dynamics that characterizes the formation, maintenance, and variability of low-level easterly wind maxima in the tropics, distinguished by its focus on the dynamical mechanisms driving zonal wind asymmetries and their interactions with convection, topography, and large-scale circulation systems.
