"Tropical Dynamics and Climate research focuses on an improved understanding
of tropical circulation systems and their impact on global climate. Wind
profilers developed within the Aeronomy Laboratory provide continuous observations
of atmospheric winds in the tropical Pacific. They provide important observations
of large-scale tropical circulations and their intra-seasonal, seasonal and
interannual variability. They also yield important information about precipitating
cloud systems."
