How MJO Teleconnections and ENSO Interferencce Impacts U.S. Precipitation

May 1, 2020January 4, 2021

A composite analysis reveals how the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) impacts North American rainfall through perturbations in both the upper-tropospheric flow and regional low-level moisture availability. Upper-level divergence associated with the MJO tropical convection drives a quasi-stationary Rossby wave response to the midlatitudes.
