MJO Experimental Prediction Project:
Links to other MJO pages: Tutorials and Monitoring
An All-season Real-time Multivariate MJO Index- Forecast and monitoring plots of the MJO that utilize and empirically derived structure of the MJO based on historic data.
- Adrian Matthews MJO page
- A very complete page with MJO description, current research topics, illustrations and animations from Adrian Matthews at the University of East Anglia.
- MJO monitoring page
- from NOAA/CPC
- Includes various plots of the current status of the 30-60 day oscillation including OLR anomalies, geopotential height and other animations and satellite photos. Also includes a very nice FAQ on the oscillation mechanism and evolution and it's relationship to other climate processes. They also maintain a MJO/weather page and a page with the MJO daily index.
- NCAR/UCAR MJO life cycle
- An NCAR/UCAR COMET A webpage that requires flash that animates the life cycle of an MJO event.
- U of Wyoming MJO tutorial.
- A tutorial oin the MJO with schematics, a brief history and a bibliography on the phenomenon.
- NASA page on the MJO and the effect on the Asian Monsoon.
- NOAA/ESRL PSD spotlight article.
- The MJO and it's affect on the onset of an El Nino event.
- Webcast on the MJO and climate variability.
- Created for COMET. Link is to webcast by Klaus Weickmann. Need Flash
Interactive data plotting and general weather/climate monitoring pages.
- PSD maproom
- Includes maps of many variables for many different variables and time scales. Inclodes links to modes of Coherent Tropical Convective Variability, OLR and storm tracks among many other climate/weather variables.
- Interactive MJO composites
- Choose MJO to get list of high/low MJO activity days. Use these days in the page http://www.cdc.noaa.gov/Composites/Days/ to get composites for different variables.
- Time Section Plots
- Plots time/latitude and time/longitude plots of NCEP reanalysis and operational data. Plots means and anomalies.
- Plots daily data
- Plots maps or crossections of daily and daily averaged data. Includes anomalues, means and climos. Has OLR
