Structure and Properties of Madden–Julian Oscillations Deduced from DYNAMO Sounding Arrays (2013, result): “…the MJO convective envelope—cool anomalies at low levels and warm anomalies in the upper troposphere—are consistent with ﬁndings from past studies (Lin and Johnson 1996; Kiladis et al. 2005). d Tilted cool/warm and zonal wind anomalies oc-curred for extended periods (multiple weeks) in the…”
Cracking the MJO nut (2013, result): “A transition in the vertical heating structure during MJO evolution, namely, from shallow, to deep, and then to stratiform, results in a westward vertical tilt that has been found in observations [Lin et al., 2004; Kiladis et al., 2005; cf. Katsumata et al., 2009] and recent reanalysis data sets (ER”
Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, methodology): “12, perhaps due in part to the misrepresentation of the stratiform component in model convective parameterizations used to obtain the first-guess analysis (Lin et al. 2004).”
Changes in the Activity of the Madden–Julian Oscillation during 1958–2004 (2006, methodology): “The MJO has been extensively studied over the years and different methods have been used to characterize the oscillation (e.g., Hendon et al. 1999; Lin et al. 2004).”
Application of MJO Simulation Diagnostics to Climate Models (2009, methodology): “2003; Lin et al. 2006; Zhang 2006; Sperber and Annamalai 2008). The most significant message from the above studies is that GCMs continue to struggle to represent the MJO. Slingo et al. (1996) examined tropical intraseasonal variability using atmospheric GCM simulations”
The Tropical Dynamical Response to Latent Heating Estimates Derived from the TRMM Precipitation Radar (2004, background): “Condensational heating generated by general circulation models is strongly dependent on the model parameterizations and is not always consistent with observations (Nigam et al. 2000; Lin et al. 2004).”
Convectively coupled equatorial waves (2009, background): “Furthermore, it is well documented that GCMs in general lack the ‘‘top heavy’’ heating profiles observed in nature, presumably because of improper treatment of stratiform precipitation and its duration and timing relative to deep convection [e.g., Lin et al., 2004].”
WHERE ARE THE MOST INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS ON EARTH (2006, background): “…et al. 2004), the diurnal cycle (e.g., Negri et al. 2002; Nesbitt and Zipser 2003), the partit ioning between convective and stratiform precipitation (e.g., Schumacher and Houze 2003), and latent heating profiles (e.g., Tao et al. 2001; Lin et al. 2004; Schumacher et al. 2004), among many others.”
The Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) contribution to CMIP6. (2016, background): “…2015), the organization of convection in tropical waves, Madden–Julian oscillations and other forms of convective aggregation (e.g. Lee et al., 2001; Lin et al., 2004; Bony and Emanuel, 2005; Zurovac-Jevtic et al., 2006; Crueger and Stevens, 2015; Muller and Bony, 2015), the extra-tropical…”
Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “…and diabatic heating all show large-scale patterns coherent with the wind and deep convection of the MJO [e.g., Chen and Yen, 1991; Hendon and Salby, 1994; Lin and Johnson, 1996a, 1996b; Mote et al., 2000; Kemball-Cook and Weare, 2001; Myers and Waliser, 2003; Weare, 2003; Lin et al., 2004].”
Tropical Intraseasonal Variability in 14 IPCC AR4 Climate Models. Part I: Convective Signals (2006, background): “Other aspects of model physics may also be important for the MJO simulation, such as the vertical heating profile (Park et al. 1990; Lin et al. 2004) and cloud radiative heating (Lee et al. 2001; Lin and Mapes 2004).”
Tropical cyclogenesis in a tropical wave critical layer: easterly waves (2008, background): “, 1984), the mature phase of MJO (Lin et al., 2004) and generation of stratospheric gravity waves (D.”
Global Variability of Mesoscale Convective System Anvil Structure from A-Train Satellite Data (2010, background): “turn largely determines the structure of the large-scale mean tropical circulation (Hartmann et al. 1984; Lin et al. 2004; Schumacher et al. 2004).”
