An overview of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and its relation to monsoon and mid-latitude circulation
An overview of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and its relation to monsoon and mid-latitude circulation
In the past decade there has been extensive research into tropical intraseasonal variability, one of the major components of the low frequency variability of the general atmospheric circulation. This paper briefly reviews the state-of-the-art in this research area: the nature of the Madden-Julian Oscillation, its relation to monsoonal and extratropical circulations, and the current theoretical understandings.
