Abstract
In this section (Chapter 3A) we discuss the tropical atmosphere over the longitudes of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. This area is described variously as the location of the Southern Hemisphere summer monsoon (Murakami and Sumi 1982; McBride 1983), the Australian summer monsoon (Troup 1961; McBride 1987), and the maritime continent (Ramage 1968). It is the location of one of the three global tropical heat sources and is the primary region of latent heat release associated with both the Southern Oscillation and Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Thus, it plays an important role in the dynamics of the global climate.
