| Abstract |
Predicting weather beyond about two weeks eludes the most adept forecasters, but certain climate system phenomena can give them an edge. An example is the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO), which begins as a pocket of deep convection in the equatorial Indian Ocean and crawls east along the equator, circling the globe. As it travels, the MJO has a ripple effect much like El Niño, impacting the extratropical circulation and weather in regions far away. |
