1 . Identifying the MJO Skeleton in Observational Data Sam Stechmann, Wisconsin Andrew Majda, NYU World Weather Open Science Conference August 20, 2014 Montreal, Canada
2 Theoretical prediction of MJO structure low level pressure contours 2 y (1000 km) suppressed convection (A < 0) enhanced convection (A > 0) Ingredients: Kelvin wave structure on equator Rossby gyre structure off equator Observed MJO structure Hendon & Salby 1994
3 Main Question: Can the MJO be isolated in observational data without the use of temporal filtering or EOFs? Instead: use theoretical prediction of MJO structure.
4 Outline 1. Modeling the MJO Skeleton Provides theoretical prediction of MJO structure 2. Identifying the MJO Skeleton in Observational Data 3. OLR and diabatic heating
5 MJO Skeleton Model Majda & Stechmann 2009 u t yv = p x yu = p y 0 = p z +θ u x +v y +w z = 0 θ t +w = Ha s θ Linearized primitive equations Equatorial long-wave scaling Coriolis term: equatorial β-plane approx. + q t Qw = Ha+s q a t = Γqa Key mechanism: q a interaction Minimal number of parameters: s θ, Q,Γ Dynamic equation for convective activity q: lower tropospheric moisture anomaly a: amplitude of convective activity envelope Minimal number of parameters: s θ, Q,Γ Minimal nonlinear oscillator model
6 MJO Skeleton Model (vertical truncation) u t yv θ x = 0 yu θ y = 0 θ t u x v y = Ha s θ q t + Q(u x +v y ) = Ha+s q a t = Γqa Truncate at first vertical baroclinic mode (sinz, cosz) Shallow water equations (long-wave) Matsuno Gill-like model without dissipative mechanisms but with lower tropospheric moisture anomaly, q envelope of convection/wave activity, a, provides dynamic planetary-scale heating Conserved energy: [ 1 t 2 u θ2 + 1 Q 21 Q even with source terms s θ = s q = S ( θ+ q Q ) 2 + H ] Γ Q a S Γ Q loga x (uθ) y (vθ) = 0

8 Theoretical prediction of MJO structure low level pressure contours 2 y (1000 km) suppressed convection (A < 0) enhanced convection (A > 0) Ingredients: Kelvin wave structure on equator Rossby gyre structure off equator Observed MJO structure Hendon & Salby 1994

10 Overview of Procedure 1. Vertical (z) projection (using 850 hpa and 200 hpa data) 2. Meridional (y) projection (using parabolic cylinder functions) 3. Zonal (x) projection (using Fourier modes k = 1 to k max ) 4. Define K,R,Q,A 5. Construct the MJO eigenmode e MJO Plus 2 other standard steps: Remove the seasonal cycle Remove ENSO variability (120-day running time average) Question: Does this procedure isolate the MJO in observational data? Note: No temporal bandpass filter or EOFs are used
11 Vertical projection (using 850 hpa and 200 hpa data) Isolate the 1st baroclinic mode: u = u(850 hpa) u(200 hpa) 2 2 Z(850 hpa) Z(200 hpa) θ = 2 2 Z = geopotential height Z θ from hydrostatic balance: p z θ Z p θ
12 Meridional y projection Expand using meridional basis functions: Parabolic cylinder functions φ m (y): u(y) = m=0 u m φ m (y) φ m (y) φ 0 (y) φ 1 (y) φ 2 (y) 0.8 φ m (y) H m (y) e y2 /2 60S 30S 0 30N 60N latitude φ 0 (y) 1 e y2 /2 φ 1 (y) y e y2 /2 φ 2 (y) (2y 2 1)e y2 /2 Average from 15 S 15 N Anti-symmetric Needed for Rossby gyres
13 Meridional y projection Example with u(x,y) p=200 hpa : Raw data Mode 0 Modes N uwnd at 200 hpa on day N mode N mode N N N latitude (deg) 30 N 0 30 S latitude (deg) 30 N 0 30 S latitude (deg) 30 N 0 30 S S S S S 0 60 E 120 E W 60 W longitude (deg) S 0 60 E 120 E W 60 W longitude (deg) S 0 60 E 120 E W 60 W longitude (deg) 20 u(y) u 0 φ 0 (y) u 0 φ 0 (y)+u 1 φ 1 (y)+u 2 φ 2 (y)
14 Zonal x projection Use zonal Fourier modes k = 1 to k max For visual clarity, k max = 3 here Procedure can be done for any desired wavenumbers (e.g., k = 1 to 8)

16 Change variables from (u,θ) to (K,R) Define K,R u(y) = u 0 φ 0 (y)+u 1 φ 1 (y)+u 2 φ 2 (y)+ θ(y) = θ 0 φ 0 (y)+θ 1 φ 1 (y)+θ 2 φ 2 (y)+ K = 1 2 u θ 0, R = R 1 = 1 2 u θ 0 +u 2 θ 2, K,R ingredients: Both u and θ Both equatorial and off-equatorial

18 How to define Q and A? Q is lower-tropospheric specific humidity: Q = 1 4 shum(925 hpa)+ 1 2 shum(850 hpa)+ 1 shum(700 hpa) 4 A OLR as first guess: HA = H OLR OLR H OLR = K d 1 W m 2 Estimates of H OLR : Christy 1991; Yanai & Tomita 1998; Stechmann & Ogrosky 2014, submitted
