Previous studies reported that WWBs can be associated with tropical cyclones, cold surges, and the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), and El Niño. Because of the large variability of WWBs in strength, duration, structure, and location, and their complex interaction with tropical atmospheric convection, it is difficult to associate them with any single phenomenon and there is yet no clear consensus on their mechanism. In this seminar, different detection methods of WWBs and the relationship with their associated atmospheric phenomena are briefly reviewed.
