Origins of Moist Air in Global Lagrangian Simulations of the Madden–Julian Oscillation

Many recent studies have characterized the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) as a moisture mode, suggesting that its amplification and eastward propagation result from processes that build up moisture to the east of the MJO’s convective center, including frictionally driven boundary layer convergence,...
