MJO in four years of EOS MLS UT/LS Temperature and Composition
Abstract
Preliminary work with EOS MLS v1.5 cloud ice and water vapor fields showed the strong imprint of the Madden-Julian oscillation in tropical upper-tropospheric and TTL hydrological fields. Four years of v2.2 MLS fields including IWC, H2O, temperature, CO and O3 are now available. Analysis provides a multi-parameter construct useful in validating and improving the parameterization of convection, clouds, cloud-microphysics and TTL composition in MJO modeling.
