Abstract This project aims to analyze the influence of moist convection on geostrophic adjustment on the equatorial region. The geostrophic adjustment will be examined through numerical experiments with a pseudo-spectral model that couples a shallow-water model on the equatorial $\beta$-plane with a vertically averaged moisture equation. We will also explore the moisture's impact in the non-linear wave-wave interactions among Rossby, Kelvin, Mixed Rossby-gravity, and inertia-gravity waves. This research will provide a better understanding of the non-linear interaction between the normal modes of oscillation in the atmosphere and moisture during the geostrophic adjustment in the equatorial region. The dynamical nature of these non-linear interactions is essential to expand our current understanding of the intraseasonal atmospheric variability. (AU) | |
