Tropical Easterly Waves

Tropical Easterly Waves is a synoptic-scale atmospheric disturbance characterized by a trough of low pressure that propagates westward along the easterly flow in the tropical troposphere, distinguished from other tropical waves by its origin in the African easterly jet and its role as a precursor to tropical cyclone development.
