Previous studies have revealed the relationship between the Madden−Julian oscillation (MJO) and the Arctic Oscillation (AO). The MJO phase 2/3 is followed by the positive AO phase, and the MJO phase 6/7 is followed by the negative AO phase.

Ocean temperature and salinity components of the Madden-Julian oscillation observed by Argo floats [PDF]
New diagnostics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) cycle in ocean temperature and, for the first time, salinity are presented. The MJO composites are based on 4 years of gridded Argo float data from 2003 to 2006, and extend from the surface to 1,400 ...

The Madden–Julian Oscillation in CCSM4
Abstract This study assesses the ability of the Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) to represent the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in the tropical atmosphere. The U.S. Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) MJO Working Group’s prescribed diagnostic tests are used to

The effect of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on station rainfall and river level in the Fly River system, Papua New Guinea [PDF]
The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in tropical rainfall on the large scale, but its signal is often obscured in individual station data, where effects are most directly felt at the local level.

Seasonality in the Madden–Julian Oscillation
Abstract This study, using observational data and global reanalysis products, synthesizes existing knowledge on the seasonality in the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and discusses its possible dependence on the mean background state. The seasonality in the MJO is documented in terms of its components in low-level zonal wind and precipitation. A single

Coupled ocean–atmosphere interactions between the Madden–Julian oscillation and synoptic-scale variability over the warm pool [PDF]
A principal component analysis of the combined fields of sea surface temperature (SST) and surface zonal and meridional wind reveals the dominant mode of intraseasonal (30-70-day) co-variability during northern winter in the tropical Eastern Hemisphere ...

Modulation of Polar Low Activity by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation
The impacts of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) on polar low (PL) activity are examined. We found that PL frequency increases over the Irminger Sea and decreases over the Norwegian‐Barents Seas following the MJO Phases 2–4, and nearly opposite changes

Vertical structure and diabatic processes of the Madden-Julian oscillation [PDF]
The “Vertical Structure of Diabatic Processes of the Madden-Julian Oscillation” global-model evaluation project developed a novel experimental framework, which produces a complete characterization of models’ abilities to simulate the Madden-Julian ...
