30-60-day Oscillations of Convection and Circulation Associated with the Thermal State of the Western Pacific Warm Pool during Boreal Summer


doi: 10.1007/BF02915403

  • This study focuses on the characteristics of the 30 60-day oscillation (MJO) associated with theinterannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool. The composite resultsshow that the amplitude of MJO convection over the tropical western Pacific tends to intensify (reduce)in the WARM (COLD) case. The negative correlations between MJO convection in the WARM and inthe COLD cases are examined to be significant over most of the Asian-Pacific region. The evolutions of MJO convection and lower circulation, on the one hand, exhibit larger differences between the WARMand COLD cases, but on the other hand, display a unique feature in that a well-developed MJO cyclone(anticyclone) is anchored over the Asian-Western Pacific domain at the peak enhanced (suppressed) MJO convection phase over the western Pacific warm pool, either in the WARM or in the COLD case. Thisunique feature of MJO shows a Gill-type response of lower circulation to the convection and is inferred tobe an inherent appearance of MJO. The context in the paper suggests there may exist interactions between MJO and the interannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool.

Abstract: This study focuses on the characteristics of the 30 60-day oscillation (MJO) associated with theinterannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool. The composite resultsshow that the amplitude of MJO convection over the tropical western Pacific tends to intensify (reduce)in the WARM (COLD) case. The negative correlations between MJO convection in the WARM and inthe COLD cases are examined to be significant over most of the Asian-Pacific region. The evolutions of MJO convection and lower circulation, on the one hand, exhibit larger differences between the WARMand COLD cases, but on the other hand, display a unique feature in that a well-developed MJO cyclone(anticyclone) is anchored over the Asian-Western Pacific domain at the peak enhanced (suppressed) MJO convection phase over the western Pacific warm pool, either in the WARM or in the COLD case. Thisunique feature of MJO shows a Gill-type response of lower circulation to the convection and is inferred tobe an inherent appearance of MJO. The context in the paper suggests there may exist interactions between MJO and the interannual variability of the thermal state in the western Pacific warm pool.
