The Madden-Julian oscillation wind-convection coupling and the role of moisture processes in the MM5 model

The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) produced by a mesoscale model is investigated using standardized statistical diagnostics. Results show that upper- and lower-level zonal winds display the correct MJO structure, phase speed (8 m s[superscript −1]) and space-time power spectrum. However, the simula...
