Abstract

Calculations of the oceanic heat budget for the tropical Atlantic and eastern Pacific, in conjunction with satellite measurements of net radiation at the top of the atmosphere, permit a partitioning of heat export performed by the oceanic water body v. the atmospheric column. For individual Marsden squares, the divergence of heat transport within the oceanic water body ranges from +82% (export) to βˆ’120% (import) of the net radiative input to the system at the top of the atmosphere. Oceanic heat export is particularly conspicuous in the realm of the cold currents off the west coasts and in the cold water tongue immediately to the south of the equator.

## Abstract This paper explores the role that tropical storms (TS) of the eastern North Pacific play in the rainfall climatology of western Mexico. It uses an 18‐station rainfall grid, along with a data base of storm tracks (1949–1997). TS rainfall is defined by a distance threshold, so that for ea
