Abstract:
Following the formalism defined by Berliner, stages of a Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM)for the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) are being assembled, including data stage inputs from multi-platform satellite observations of rain rate, surface convergence and out-going longwave radiation. We anticipate that precise and abundant satellite data stage inputs will guide process model development tailored to provide spatial and temporal supports for observations from one or more of the satellite platforms while representing essential physical balances for the MJO. This talk will focus on a new multi-platform perspective of MJO properties for a single event spanning December 2014 – January 2015 in the tropical Indian and western Pacific ocean basins. Given this new perspective from multi-platform data, suggestions for an MJO process model will be discussed.
