Structure of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in the Superparameterized CAM (2009, methodology): “…in December. c. Time–height structure of basic variables Observed time–height structures of the MJO life cycle have become increasingly well documented in recent years (e.g., Woolnough et al. 2000; Kemball-Cook and Weare 2001; Sperber 2003; Myers and Waliser 2003; KSH05; Benedict and Randall 2007).”
Fifty Years of Research on the Madden‐Julian Oscillation: Recent Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020, background): “…surface temperature (SST; Hendon & Glick, 1997; Woolnough et al., 2000; Shinoda et al., 1998), boundary layer (BL) convergence (Kiladis et al., 2005; Sperber, 2003), and a bottom‐heavy heating structure (e.g., Jiang et al., 2011; Kiladis et al., 2005; J. Lin et al., 2004) dominated by shallow…”
Observed Characteristics of the MJO Relative to Maximum Rainfall (2007, methodology): “This state is calculated by averaging a variable at fixed pressure over all appropriate lag days ( 30 to 20) or pentads ( 6 to 4) for all events, resulting in a single background value for each pressure level.”
Three-Dimensional Structure and Evolution of the MJO and Its Relation to the Mean Flow (2014, background): “…is clearly evident in time–longitude sections of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) even without recourse to compositing (see, e.g., Matthews 2008 and Straub 2013) and the remote signature in the planetary-scale wind field is evident in the global field of upper-tropospheric velocity potential…”
Changes in the Activity of the Madden–Julian Oscillation during 1958–2004 (2006, background): “Consistent with previous studies (e.g., Knutson and Weickmann 1987; Lo and Hendon 2000; Sperber 2003; Jones et al. 2004b), the results shown in Table 1 indicate that the first two eigenvalues capture the bulk of the MJO variability and together describe the eastward propagation of the oscillation.”
Simulations of the Madden–Julian oscillation in four pairs of coupled and uncoupled global models (2006, background): “That is what suggested by global data assimilation products (e.g., Hendon and Salby 1994; Jones and Weare 1996; Maloney and Hartmann 1998; Sperber 2003; Kiladis et al 2005), GCM simulations (e.g., Kemball-Cook et al. 2002; Sperber et al. 2005), and the most popular MJO theories (e.g., Wang 1988; W”
Modulation of South Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones by the Madden–Julian Oscillation and Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (2006, background): “The signal of the MJO in convection and lowlevel winds is as expected (e.g., Sperber 2003; Wheeler and Hendon 2004), with coupled patterns of wind and convection moving slowly eastward.”
On the Role of Moist Processes in Tropical Intraseasonal Variability: Cloud–Radiation and Moisture–Convection Feedbacks (2005, background): “Observations reveal complex patterns of water vapor variations at intraseasonal time scales (Myers and Waliser 2003; Sperber 2003).”
Application of MJO Simulation Diagnostics to Climate Models (2009, background): “1994), observational (Salby et al. 1994; Salby and Hendon 1994; Maloney and Hartmann 1998; Sperber 2003), and modeling (Lee et al.”
A Comparison of OLR and Circulation-Based Indices for Tracking the MJO (2014, background): “Despite the large diversity of disturbances composing individual MJO events, spatial–temporal EOF analysis of satellite-derived cloudiness data lends itself well to this purpose (Lau and Chan 1988; Zhang and Hendon 1997; Kikuchi and Takayabu 2003; Sperber 2003).”
MJO Simulation Diagnostics (2009, background): “…assessments that have been made over the last decade of the capabilities of GCMs to represent the MJO shows progress to be slow (Slingo et al. 1996; Sperber et al. 2000; Waliser et al. 2003a; Lin et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2006), and that we have yet to develop a single GCM that the climate…”
ENSO regulation of MJO teleconnection (2011, background): “Once the disturbances reach the dateline; thus, over cool equatorial waters, the convection demises and the disturbance is seen only in dynamical fields (Rui and Wang 1990; Hendon and Salby 1994; Matthews 2000; Sperber 2003; Kiladis et al. 2005).”
Madden‐Julian Oscillation (2005, background): “Reconstruct the MJO from the leading modes and examine its primary features, such as the zonal scale, RG2003 Zhang: MADDEN-JULIAN OSCILLATION 15 of 36 RG2003 propagation speed, and structure [e.g., Sperber, 2003; Kiladis et al., 2005].”
Atmosphere‐ocean coupled processes in the Madden‐Julian oscillation (2015, background): “SST-enhanced surface fluxes may also augment frictional wave-CISK moisture convergence (section 2.2), which is associated with MJO propagation [e.g., Hendon and Salby, 1994; Sperber, 2003; Weare, 2006].”
Zonal and Vertical Structure of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (2005, methodology): “High surface t ahead of the MJO with low surface t following are wellknown features of the disturbance (e.g., Zhang 1996; Sperber 2003).”
Role of the Boundary Layer Moisture Asymmetry in Causing the Eastward Propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation* (2012, background): “This moisture tilting feature was previously identified by Sperber (2003) and Kiladis et al. (2005).”
Regional Heat Sources and the Active and Break Phases of Boreal Summer Intraseasonal (30–50 Day) Variability* (2005, methodology): “This result is consistent with observations of the boreal winter MJO (e.g., Sperber 2003).”
