Abstract: AbstractExplanations for the barrier effect of the Indo-Pacific Maritime Continent (MC) on the MJO should satisfy two criteria. First, they should include specific features of the MC, namely, its intricate land?sea ...

Abstract: his study explores the extent to which the dynamical structure of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO), its evolution, and its connection to diabatic heating can be described in terms of potential vorticity (PV). The signature ...

Abstract: iabatic heating profiles are extremely important to the atmospheric circulation in the tropics and therefore to the earth?s energy and hydrological cycles. However, their global structures are poorly known because of limited ...

Abstract: Diabatic and latent heating profiles from four global reanalyses and three Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) algorithms were compared: first generally for the tropics and then in the context of the Madden?Julian ...

Abstract: n this study, the authors seek large-scale signals that may distinguish MJO from non-MJO convective events before they start over the Indian Ocean. Three such signals were found. Low-level easterly anomalies extend from ...

Abstract: A new method of testing for the characteristics of variation in moisture content of subgrade soil was presented. It is of great significance to test the variation in moisture content of subgrade soil, since moisture content ...

Abstract: volution characteristics of the Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) during the eastern Pacific (EP) and central Pacific (CP) types of El Niño have been investigated. MJO activities are strengthened over the western Pacific ...

Abstract: ABSTRACTThe simulated Madden?Julian oscillation (MJO) events in 27 general circulation models (GCMs) are identified using an MJO tracking method. The results suggest that the occurrence frequencies of simulated MJO events ...

Abstract: his study introduces a new methodology for identifying El Niño and La Niña events. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly patterns for El Niño and La Niña onset, peak, and end phases are classified by self-organizing maps ...
