Short summary
Rainfall in the tropics is strongly related to the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. In this work, we examine a measure of moisture called the “moist margin”, which describes a transition between rainy and clear regions of the tropics. We show that movement of the moist margin is often related to a variety of weather systems. Cases where tropical moisture moves far poleward are often related to low-pressure systems or large-scale waves in the extratropics.
