MJO simulation in a cloud‐system‐resolving global ocean‐atmosphere coupled model
Abstract An observed Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagating from the central Indian Ocean to the western Pacific from 15 December 2006 to 10 January 2007 was successfully simulated by a cloud‐system‐resolving global ocean‐atmosphere coupled model without parameterization of cumulus convection....

| description | Abstract An observed Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) propagating from the central Indian Ocean to the western Pacific from 15 December 2006 to 10 January 2007 was successfully simulated by a cloud‐system‐resolving global ocean‐atmosphere coupled model without parameterization of cumulus convection. We found that the ocean coupling has significant impacts on the MJO simulation, e.g., strength of the moisture convergence, and the timing and strength of the westerly wind burst over the Maritime Continent. The model also generally well simulated the decay of the MJO in the western Pacific, as well as the changes in sea surface temperature. These results demonstrate that the cloud‐system‐resolving global ocean‐atmosphere coupled model can be used for realistic MJO simulation. |
