Abstract
ABSTRACT There are rich variabilities in the global atmosphere and climate system on the intraseasonal time scale. This review article focuses on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), which is the dominant mode of tropical intraseasonal variability. The MJO has a tremendous global impact and represents a major source of skill for subseasonal to seasonal predictions. Our knowledge on the MJO has been advanced in recent decades, but challenges remain in understanding, simulating and predicting the MJO and its global influence. Here we review the basic observed features of the MJO, possible mechanisms, the related teleconnections and tropical-extratropical interactions, its interannual variation, and its simulation and predictions.
期刊介绍:
Atmosphere-Ocean is the principal scientific journal of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (CMOS). It contains results of original research, survey articles, notes and comments on published papers in all fields of the atmospheric, oceanographic and hydrological sciences. Arctic, coastal and mid- to high-latitude regions are areas of particular interest. Applied or fundamental research contributions in English or French on the following topics are welcomed:
climate and climatology;
observation technology, remote sensing;
forecasting, modelling, numerical methods;
physics, dynamics, chemistry, biogeochemistry;
boundary layers, pollution, aerosols;
circulation, cloud physics, hydrology, air-sea interactions;
waves, ice, energy exchange and related environmental topics.
