Convectively coupled equatorial waves (2009, background): “…a large portion of the MJO and other large-scale convective envelopes and are themselves composed of smaller-scale MCSs; thus, an assessment of this wave-wave interdependence appears to be a crucial step toward understanding the maintenance of large-scale tropical circulations [Moncrieff, 2004].”
Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “Recent efforts to represent such scale interactions in simple models (e.g., Moncrieff 2004; Majda and Biello 2004; Biello and Majda 2005), and in numerical superparameterization settings with cloud-resolving simulations embedded within larger scale models (e.g., Grabowski 2003; Randall et al.…”
The mesoscale convection life cycle: building block or prototype for large-scale tropical waves? (2006, background): “The flux by tilted, organized penetrative convective drafts can be up-gradient, acting quite unlike simple friction, as emphasized, for example, in some recent studies of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (Biello and Majda, 2005, 2006; Houze et al., 2000; Moncrieff, 2004).”
A New Multiscale Model for the MaddenJulian Oscillation (2005, background): “Moncrieff (2004) has recently developed an interesting phenomenological nonlinear theory for the upscale transport of momentum from equatorial mesoscales [O(300 km)] to planetary scales and has applied this Corresponding author address: Joseph A. Biello, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,…”
A global cloud‐resolving simulation: Preliminary results from an aqua planet experiment (2005, background): “Enhanced easterly winds occur in the upper troposphere (not shown) above the westerly wind burst, consistent with the large-scale organization of a Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)-like structure as shown in Figure 6a of Moncrieff [2004] .”
Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “This mesoscale downward momentum transport, supplementary to the large-scale momentum transport by the Rossby gyres [Moncrieff, 2004], is another example of scale interaction associated with the MJO.”
Parameterizing Convective Organization to Escape the Entrainment Dilemma (2011, background): “Another form of organization we are not addressing is the quasi-two-dimensionality, steadiness, and tilt of convective drafts that can lead to special momentum flux effects, as emphasized in ‘organized’ convection parameterization discussions such as Moncrieff [2004] .”
Tropical Intraseasonal Variability in 14 IPCC AR4 Climate Models. Part I: Convective Signals (2006, background): “Excessively deep equivalent depths suggest that these models may not have a large enough reduction in their “effective static stability” by diabatic heating.”
Observational Evidence for Relationships between the Degree of Aggregation of Deep Convection, Water Vapor, Surface Fluxes, and Radiation (2012, background): “Some attempts to include features of mesoscale convective organization in parameterization schemes have been carried out (Moncrieff 2004; Qian et al. 1998; Redelsperger et al. 2000; Grandpeix and Lafore 2010; Mapes and Neale 2011).”
Multiscale Convective Organization and the YOTC Virtual Global Field Campaign (2012, background): “Examples are the role of organized convective momentum transport in the structure and evolution of the MJO and convectively coupled tropical waves (Moncrieff 1992, 2004; Grabowski and Moncrieff 2001, 2004; Biello et al. 2007; Majda and Stechmann 2009a; Khouider et al. 2011), the MJO as a neutrally…”
A stochastic multicloud model for tropical convection (2010, background): “Furthermore, despite the recent progress in computing resources, the current general circulation models (GCMs) poorly represent these organized multiscale convective systems, partly due to the inadequate representation of unresolved features of organized convection by the cumulus parametrizations ut”
Forecast Skill of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in Two Canadian Atmospheric Models (2008, background): “As pointed out by previous studies (e.g., Majda and Biello 2005; Moncrieff 2004), interactions between different scales may provide an important energy source to the low-frequency variability.”
