摘要：
This study has used low Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) values to study the structure and evolution of the active convection across Equatorial Eastern Africa (EEA) region (5° N to 10° S, 28° E to 42° E) during the northern hemisphere spring season. This involved the examination of the map patterns and cross-sections of OLR data as derived from once-daily NOAA's Operational Polar Orbiting satellites within the period June 1974 to May 1991.
