• Observed Characteristics of the MJO Relative to Maximum Rainfall (2007, methodology): “Straub and Kiladis (2003) examined the observed structure of convectively coupled Corresponding author address: James J.

• Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “…can be identified as synoptic-scale convectively coupled equatorial waves, having the dispersion characteristics and structures of the normal modes of the linearized shallow water equations on an equatorial beta plane (Takayabu 1994; Wheeler and Kiladis 1999, hereafter WK99; Wheeler et al. 2000).”
• Fifty Years of Research on the Madden‐Julian Oscillation: Recent Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020, background): “…MCS and CCEW activities by favoring particular types of convective systems and propagation directions (e.g., Guo et al., 2014; Y. Han & Khouider, 2010; Majda & Stechmann, 2009, 2012; Masunaga et al., 2006; Straub & Kiladis, 2003), although the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.”
• Dynamics of 2-Day Equatorial Waves (2004, methodology): “Analysis of average absolute vorticity fields for the COARE IOP suggest that through most of the troposphere the dynamical equator lies between 18 and 28S (similar to what Takayabu 1994b observed), which is very close to the latitude of the center of the IFA (28S).”
• Convectively coupled equatorial waves (2009, background): “Low level convergence and associated upward motion begin near the surface 10–15 to the east of the lowest Tb [Straub and Kiladis, 2003a, 2003c], as expected theoretically because of surface frictional effects [Wang, 1988; Wang and Rui, 1990; Moskowitz and Bretherton, 2000].”
• A stochastic multicloud model for tropical convection (2010, background): “squall lines [55, 56] to synoptic scale convectively coupled waves [50, 48] to the planetary/intraseasonal scale Madden-Julian oscillation [10, 26] involves three cloud types.”
• The mesoscale convection life cycle: building block or prototype for large-scale tropical waves? (2006, background): “9 of Straub et al. (2006) indicate similarly small ratios for 2-day waves and Kelvin waves, in contrast to q:T ratios well over 3 in Madden–Julian filtered regressions (Kiladis et al., 2005).”

• A Climatology of Waves in the Equatorial Region (2004, background): “Most of these disturbances (hereafter often called ‘‘waves’’ for simplicity) are triggered either by diabatic heating associated with organized deep convection, by interaction of other disturbances with land (e.g., Kleeman 1989), or by forcing from midlatitudes (e.g., Straub and Kiladis 2003a).”
• Analysis of Convectively Coupled Kelvin Waves in the Indian Ocean MJO (2008, background): “In an analysis of Kelvin waves over the Pacific, Straub and Kiladis (2003a) showed gyres associated with the forcing of Kelvin waves by incursion of extratropical waves into the equatorial region.”
