Short summary
We analyze the equatorial wave circulation associated with the subtropical western North Pacific (SWNP) convection. Results show that Rossby and Kelvin waves resemble the Gill solution–enhance the equatorward side of the SWNP anticyclone/cyclone together, while mixed Rossby-gravity (MRG) and inertia-gravity (IG) waves dominate the cross-equatorial flow. Following peak convection, IG waves complement Rossby waves to link the SWNP convection and extratropical circulation during austral winter.
