Ocean feedback to pulses of the Madden–Julian Oscillation in the equatorial Indian Ocean

Ocean feedback to pulses of the Madden–Julian Oscillation in the equatorial Indian Ocean

The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) describes an eastward propagating pulse of tropical convection. Here, using short-term field measurements, Moum et al. illustrate an MJO memory effect: strong pulses drive enhanced ocean heat loss, weakening subsequent pulses, with implications for MJO prediction.
