Structure and Properties of Madden–Julian Oscillations Deduced from DYNAMO Sounding Arrays (2013, background): “This period has come to be referred to as the ‘‘recharge phase’’ of the MJO (Blad (cid:1) e and Hartmann 1993; Hu and Randall 1994; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001), during which moistening of the lower troposphere is achieved via detrainment from cumulus and congestus clouds (Johnson et al. 1999;…”
CORRIGENDUM of the MJO Transition from Shallow to Deep Convection in Cloudsat-Calipso Data and GISS GCM Simulations (2012, background): “Several previous modeling studies have argued that a sharp transition from a dry middle troposphere at weak rain rates to a very humid middle troposphere at high rain rates is diagnostic of a good MJO simulation (Thayer-Calder and Randall 2009; Zhu et al. 2009), though this is not the case for every”
Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, methodology): “Several recent studies have examined the large-scale vertical structure of the MJO using various statistical approaches (Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Sperber 2003; Lin et al. 2004).”
Structure of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in the Superparameterized CAM (2009, methodology): “Radiosonde-based studies (Lin and Johnson 1996; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; KSH05) that diagnose the evolving vertical temperature structure during an MJO passage have shown that maximum upper-tropospheric warmth typically occurs within five days of the deepest convection, in concert with the…”
Modulation of South Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones by the Madden–Julian Oscillation and Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (2006, background): “Yet Kemball-Cook and Weare (2001) found significant midtropospheric humidity variations associated with the MJO.”
Propagation and the Vertical Structure of the Madden Julian Oscillation (2003, background): “This indicates that a realistic moisture signal in the reanalysis is present, at least in terms of phasing relative to the convection, and is consistent with the buildup of moist static energy, which is dominated by the specific humidity (Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001).”
Precursor Signals and Processes Associated with MJO Initiation over the Tropical Indian Ocean (2013, background): “2008), planetary boundary 13 layer (PBL) moisture and convergence (Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Jiang and Li 2005), or 14 cloud-radiation-moisture feedbacks (Bladé and Hartmann 1993; Hu and Randall 1994; Raymond 15 2000; Sobel and Gildor 2003; Zhang and Song 2009; Maloney et al.”
The development of organized convection associated with the MJO during TOGA COARE IOP: Trimodal characteristics (2004, background): “Recent observational studies emphasized the transport of water vapor upward out of the boundary into the free troposphere, preconditioning the atmosphere for deep convection [Kemball-Cook and Weare, 2001; Lin and Johnson, 1996].”
Role of the Boundary Layer Moisture Asymmetry in Causing the Eastward Propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation* (2012, background): “The deep convection is then triggered when the midtropospheric moisture reaches its maximum (Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Kikuchi and Takayabu 2004; Benedict and Randall 2007).”
MJO Initiation in the Real-Time Multivariate MJO Index (2013, methodology): “MJO initiation is typically defined as the onset of a large-scale, prolonged, and eventually eastward-moving envelope of deep cloudiness in the Indian Ocean (e.g., Hsu et al. 1990; Matthews and Kiladis 1999; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Hsu and Lee 2005; Zhang 2005; Seo and Kumar 2008; Zhang and Lin”
Vertical Moist Thermodynamic Structure and Spatial-Temporal Evolution of the MJO in AIRS Observations (2006, background): “4 K) is collocated with enhanced (suppressed) convection with a maximum in the upper or middle troposphere, suggesting that deep convection tends to locally warm the free troposphere (Hendon and Liebmann 1990; Lin and Johnson 1996; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Sherwood et al. 2003; Kiladis et al. 20”
Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “Low-level humidity gradually increases RG2003 Zhang: MADDEN-JULIAN OSCILLATION 13 of 36 RG2003 ahead (east of) the convective center [Kemball-Cook and Weare, 2001; Myers and Waliser, 2003], resulting in a westward tilt in the moisture field as shown by observations (Figure 7c) and GCM simulations…”
Observed Characteristics of the MJO Relative to Maximum Rainfall (2007, methodology): “4c), and low-level heating and moistening effectively increase CAPE, thus destabilizing the atmosphere and preconditioning the region for an intensification of convection (e.g., Hu and Randall 1994; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001).”
