CORRIGENDUM of the MJO Transition from Shallow to Deep Convection in Cloudsat-Calipso Data and GISS GCM Simulations (2012, background): “In this paper, we take advantage of the unique active remote sensing capabilities of the CloudSat (Stephens et al. 2008) and the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) (Winker et al. 2009) satellites, together with the precipitation and water vapor products from”
The Role of Entrainment in the Diurnal Cycle of Continental Convection (2010, background): “, Benedict and Randall 2007). Sufficient sensitivity of a cumulus parameterization to tropospheric humidity may therefore play a role in capturing MJO variability. In addition, Sanderson et al. (2008) find that entrainment is a dominant process regulating global climate sensitivity in a large ensemb”
Application of MJO Simulation Diagnostics to Climate Models (2009, methodology): “Using recently released precipitation and latent heat estimates from TRMM, Morita et al. (2006) and Benedict and Randall (2007) showed that shallow and congestus cumulus prevail in the early stages of MJO related convective activity, while deep cumulonimbus and stratiform clouds dominate during the…”
Global‐scale convective aggregation: Implications for the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2015, neutral): “The time scale of aggregation—roughly 20 days—is comparable to that seen in cloud permitting models [Wing and Emanuel, 2014], as well as the separate moistening or drying sequences of an MJO event [e.g., Benedict and Randall, 2007].”
Atmosphere‐ocean coupled processes in the Madden‐Julian oscillation (2015, methodology): “, 2013] and gridded satellite and reanalysis data [Krishnamurti et al., 1988; Jones and Weare, 1996; Hendon and Glick, 1997; Jones et al., 1998; Shinoda et al., 1998; Woolnough et al., 2000; Inness and Slingo, 2003; Benedict and Randall, 2007; Duvel and Vialard, 2007; Araligidad and Maloney, 2008].”
Intraseasonal Variability in an Aquaplanet General Circulation Model (2010, background): “Many studies have suggested that a gradual moistening of the lower and middle troposphere, possibly by the action of shallow convection, is an important underlying mechanism that sets the MJO timescale (e.g. Benedict and Randall 2007, 2009; Tian et al. 2010).”
Convectively coupled equatorial waves (2009, background): “Such an evolution has also been confirmed for the MJO [Kiladis et al., 2005; Masunaga et al., 2006; Benedict and Randall, 2007; Haertel et al., 2008].”
Structure and Properties of Madden–Julian Oscillations Deduced from DYNAMO Sounding Arrays (2013, background): “Furthermore, unlike the Indian Ocean, the western Paciﬁc can exhibit a unique coupling between the MJO and the ocean by exciting oceanic Kelvin waves that then interact with convection (Roundy and Gribble-Verhagen 2010).”
The MJO as a Dispersive, Convectively Coupled Moisture Wave: Theory and Observations (2016, neutral): “Observational evidence by Benedict and Randall (2007), Johnson and Ciesielski (2013), and Adames and Wallace (2015) is qualitatively consistent the idea of Rossby waves producing damping within the moist region in the MJO.”
An Idealized Semi-Empirical Framework for Modeling the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2012, background): “Observations show that the transition from suppressed to active phase is as gradual as that from active back to suppressed, if not more so (KemballCook and Weare 2001; Kiladis et al. 2005; Benedict and Randall 2007).”
Fifty Years of Research on the Madden‐Julian Oscillation: Recent Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020, background): “4 of 64 heating in the upper troposphere and cooling in the lower troposphere (e.g., Benedict & Randall, 2007; J. Lin et al., 2004).”
The Role of Convective Moistening in the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2009, methodology): “However, observational studies of the MJO have also shown that the highest wind anomalies generally occur several days after the most intense precipitation (Zhang 2005; Benedict and Randall 2007).”
Tracking Pulses of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2013, background): “Direct or indirect evidence for the commonly assumed moistening by shallow and congestus clouds has been, however, very limited (Benedict and Randall 2007).”
