Main Goals
Working in concert with the WCRP-WWRP/WGNE MJO Task Force, effort will be focused on research, model evaluation and predictability/prediction skill studies on the interactions between the Maritime Continent (MC) and the MJO.
This focus is motivated by the perception that the MC represents a natural predictability barrier for the MJO that is exacerbated by limited understanding of the MC as a natural predictability barrier and also to a great extent by our limitations in model representations of the MJO and MC interactions.
The subproject can exploit a number of modeling and observational resources, namely:
- Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO)
- Planning for a new MC field experiment in the 2017 timeframe - Year of Maritime Continent
Please refer to the project white paper for more details on motivation, objectives and proposed tasks.
