das Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 It's good to see the information-sharing taking place regrding this important research area. UCAR's YOTC MJO Task Force (which itself is alreay a joint collaboration between THORPEX, WCRP and WWRP) is hooking up with WCRP's GEWEX to evaluate and compare their independent MJO models and observations. They'll look at three experimental components: climatological simulations, modeled, physics-based reanalysis and analysis of modeled hindcasts against target MJO events. Good stuff. Here's some useful links: Project Wiki: http://climate.ncas.ac.uk/pmwiki/MJO_Diabatic_Hindcast/index.php/Main/HomePage If prompted for a password, send me a PM and I'll let you know what it is. The project will dovetail very well with the current CINDY2011 (Cooperative Indian Ocean experiment on Intraseasonal Variability) and EOL's upcoming DYNAMO (Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation) project. http://www.jamstec.go.jp/iorgc/cindy/ http://www.eol.ucar.edu/projects/dynamo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Sounds like the name of a military operation. Where do I get my tank? Ask and 'ye shall receive... http://tanksforsale.co.uk/ Seriously though, regarding participation, there are opportunities for organizations or credentialed individuals to participate in the diagnostic and data analysis of the climatological integrations surrounding the diabatic heating associated with the MJO.

das Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 More MJO research, this time from our friends at DOE. The AMIE project extends the collection of validation data of CINDY2011 and DYNAMO to the east to include Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, where the MJO strengthens again after weakening over the area around the maritime "continent" of Indonesia and the Philippines. These are your stimulus $$ at work, ladies and gents. Here's a link to their ops blog. It's updated every few days and gives a good peek into the tactile business of feild research. Fun stuff. http://www.arm.gov/news/blog#amie As a remote sensing guy, I HAVE to point you to the hardware. Lot of good tools in the toolbox... http://www.arm.gov/about/recovery-act/instruments That list is more than just the MJO research tools, it includes a vast array of sensors measuring the affects on radation by anthropogenic aerosols and their effect on precipitation, cloud physics (abstract) and global or regional cooling (abstract).

das Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Want to be on the Joint MJO task force mailing list to hear announcements and preliminary results prior to publishing? Now's your chance. Subscribe here: http://www.lists.rdg.ac.uk/mailman/listinfo/met-mjo-diabatic Also, the first set of preliminary findings (on the large-scale organization of tropical convection) for the GEWEX portion of the project will be discussed at Pan-GASS at NCAR in Boulder this September. They'll also be discussing: - High resolution modelling, the gray-zone and stochastic physics - A breakout on tropical convection observed during the CINDY/DYNAMO referenced in earlier posts - A plenary session on progress in representing atmospheric processes in weather and climate models - Another plenary on boundary layer processes and clouds Anyone going to Pan-GASS, remember, the deadline to sign up is 15 May 2012. http://www.gewex.org/2012gass_conf.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
