MJO Propagation and Amplitude Diagnostic (Jiang, UCLA)
MJO Propagation and Amplitude Diagnostic (Jiang, UCLA)
This MJO propagation and amplitude diagnostic metrics is mainly motivated
by recent multi‐
model studies that model skill in representing eastward propagation of the
MJO is closely related
to model winter mean low‐level moisture pattern over the Indo‐Pacific
region, and the model
MJO amplitude tends to be tightly associated with the moisture convective
adjustment time
scale. This package is designed to provide further independent verifcation
of these above processes based on new GCM siumulations.
