The Influence of Atmosphere-Ocean Interaction on MJO Development and Propagation
Abstract
The objectives of this project are to use the fully coupled COAMPS to investigate the effect of air-ocean coupling, the prediction barrier problem near the Maritime Continent (MC), and the impact of convection permitting resolution on the MJO structure. Many coupled and uncoupled global seasonal prediction models as well as global NWP models have low skill in forecasting the MJO propagation from the Indian Ocean to the Maritime Continent. To what extent do model horizontal resolution, air-sea coupling, and parameterizations of convection contribute to this MJO propagation prediction barrier?
