A dynamical framework for the origin of the diagonal South Pacific and South Atlantic convergence zones [PDF]

, 2015
The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) are diagonal bands of precipitation that extend from the equator southeastward into the Southern Hemisphere over the western Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, respectively ...

Madden‐Julian Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010
Links are sought between Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO)‐related variations in the troposphere and stratospheric winds, temperature, and ozone. Tropospheric variations of equatorial MJO‐filtered 200 hPa zonal winds define indices of MJO activity for two equatorial regions in the Indian and Western Pacific oceans.

Weather Regimes Preclude the Observation of a Southern Annular Mode Signal in Two Coastal East Antarctic Ice Cores

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) represents the dominant pattern of climate variability in the extratropical Southern Hemisphere. However, its signature in coastal East Antarctic ice core records is unclear. A daily synoptic typing data set for the southern Indian Ocean constructed using self‐organizing maps on 500 hPa daily geopotential height

Compound Mesoscale Convective Systems and Low‐Pressure Systems in Tropical Monsoon Regions: Assessing Their Meteorology and Precipitation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCS) and low‐pressure systems (LPS) are both strongly associated with precipitation across the regions where they occur, particularly within global monsoon systems; however, their co‐occurrence and its relationship to precipitation have not been systematically examined.

The Madden-Julian Oscillation in NCEP Coupled Model Simulation

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2009
This study documents a detailed analysis on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) simulated by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) using the Global Forecast System (GFS) model version 2003 coupled with the Climate Forecast System model

The Onset of Convection in the Madden–Julian Oscillation

Journal of Climate, 2001
Abstract An observational study of the onset of convection in the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) was performed. Composites of radiosonde data from the Comprehensive Aerological Reference Data Set were constructed for an ensemble of tropical stations located in the Indian Ocean, Maritime Continent, and western Pacific Ocean. The composites suggest that

Moisture‐Flux‐Sensitive Convection Strengthens MJO Preconditioning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 10, 28 May 2026.
Abstract Despite decades of research, the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) remains challenging for global prediction systems, partly because its representation is sensitive to convection‐environment interactions. We evaluate a new prognostic convective closure in NOAA's Unified Forecast System (UFS) that incorporates large‐scale moisture‐flux ...

Distinct Impacts of Western and Eastern Maritime Continent Convection on the South China Sea Tropical Cyclone Activity in Autumn

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Convection anomalies in the eastern and western Maritime Continent (MC) during boreal autumn exhibit distinct characteristics and climatic effects, but their impacts on South China Sea (SCS) tropical cyclones (TCs) remain unclear. Here we reveal that the eastern MC convection mode, although it explains less convection variance, exerts strong ...
