The Madden-Julian Oscillation, barotropic dynamics, and North Pacific tropical cyclone formation. Part II: Stochastic barotropic modeling

A stochastic barotropic model linerarized about the 850-mb flow is used to investigate the relationship between wind variations associated with the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and eddy kinetic energy variations in the Tropics. Such a model is successful in predicting the observed location of edd...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A stochastic barotropic model linerarized about the 850-mb flow is used to investigate the relationship between wind variations associated with the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and eddy kinetic energy variations in the Tropics. Such a model is successful in predicting the observed location of eddy kinetic energy maxima during the westerly phase of the MJO and the suppression of eddy activity during the easterly phase of the MJO.
