ABSTRACT

The particular role of evaporation-wind feedback, and as well cumulus convection and dissipation, in the formation of the Madden-Julian 30-60-day intraseasonal oscillation (MJO) and equatorially trapped waves, including Kelvin, equatorial Rossby, mixed Rossby-gravity, and eastward inertio-gravity waves, has been studied using a global two-level primitive equation instability model. The evaporation has been specified through a bulk aerodynamic formula, and the convection throu...
