African Easterly Waves (AEWs) are synoptic baroclinic disturbances (wavelength 2000-5000 km; period 3-5 days) that propagate westward over West Africa in the monsoon season and display intraseasonal intermittence. This thesis work aims to investigate the question of the origin, growth and intermittence of AEWs through idealised modelling and analysis of observations. Factors such as possible precursors for the waves, and the relationship of the waves with the background environment - in particular the AEJ - and with convection are examined and discussed. A statistical climatological study is made of the relationship between the observed intraseasonal variations in the mid-tropospheric flow over West Africa, convection and AEW activity. An i...
