2 Image Credit: NASA The synergistic use of the A-Train measurements to understand clouds and convection The representation of clouds, convection and precipitation in global climate models remains a major source of uncertainty in climate projections and weather forecasts. The synergistic application of the multi-sensor measurements from the A-Train satellite constellation offers comprehensive info of the weather and climate systems, and new opportunities to evaluate and improve the key processes in atmospheric models. The A-Train
3 The YOTC CloudSat-centric, Multi-parameter A-Train and High-resolution ECMWF Analyses Data Set This data set has been developed to better quantify the dynamic, radiative, and microphysical properties of clouds and convections. As a contribution to the WMO Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) research activity (covering the YOTC period: May, Apr, 2010) Developed an efficient and flexible nearest-neighbor finding algorithm (lead by von Allmen and Lee at JPL): Along CloudSat track, collocate selected parameters relevant for clouds and ambient environment from A-Train products and ECMWF analyses CloudSat footprint (target) AIRS footprint, co-located MODIS footprint, co-located AIRS footprint, not co-located MODIS footprint, not co-located

5 The CINDY2011/DYNAMO Campaign CINDY2011 & DYNAMO are international field programs to advance our understanding of MJO initiation processes and to improve MJO prediction: CINDY2011: in central equatorial Indian Ocean in Oct Mar 2012 DYNAMO: organizes the US interest of partaking in CINDY2011 (collaborative research of NSF, DOE, ONR, NOAA, NASA) Observational activities: sounding-radar array formed by research vessels and island sites and enhanced moorings; Modeling activities: forecast/hindcast at synoptic to seasonal time scales with operational/research models Scientific objectives of DYNAMO: Investigate three key processes for MJO, particularly during the initiation The role of moisture and moistening process The role of cloud population Air-sea interaction/coupling Develop process-oriented diagnostics for model evaluation CINDY = Cooperative Indian ocean experiment on intraseasonal variability in the year 2011 DYNAMO = Dynamics of the Madden-Julian oscillation
6 Previous works using A-Train data to investigate ambient thermodynamic structure and cloud population associated with MJO [Tian et al., Mon Wea Rev, 2010] AIRS water vapor AIRS temperature [Jiang et al., Clim Dyn, 2011] CloudSat cloud fraction associated with various cloud types
7 Characterizing cloud, convection during MJO events using the collocated A-Train data set Motivated by the DYNAMO scientific hypotheses, we d like to investigate the role of the moist layer and cloud populations for MJO initiation and propagation From the perspective of the new collocated multi-parameter data set, identify the characteristics and variability associated with the MJO phases for the ambient thermodynamics, cloud structure, and precipitation Select area over Indian Ocean (5N-10S, 65-85E) larger than the DYNAMO target areas so that enough statistics can be included DYNAMO area of interest (0-7S; 72-79E) Region to collect composite statistics in the present study (5N-10S; 65-85E) The shaded contours show the cloud top temperature on 21 UTC 12 Dec The square box is the DYNAMO area of interest, with key measurements planned at four primary observing sites (black dots) [credit: The DYNAMO Overview Document]
8 Composites in MJO Phases Based on the Multivariate MJO Index [Wheeler and Hendon, 2004] Period: Two winter MJO seasons covered by the collocated data set (Nov Apr, 2008 to 2010) Total=362 days; 131 days missing (CloudSat downtime) The phase diagram of the WH index for Oct-Dec, 2009 Collect composites for the eight MJO phases based on the multivariate MJO index (WH2004) For days with amplitude of WH index >1, label each day with its MJO phase WH index amplitude <1 = Non-MJO days (baseline for computing anomalies) Merge phases two by two to augment sample size Compute PDF, PDF anomalies, mean and anomalies profiles, and other diagnostics/statistics for parameters associated with ambient thermodynamics, clouds, and convection.

17 Summary and Future Work The present work applies the YOTC collocated A-Train and ECMWF data set to characterize winter MJO over Indian Ocean, focusing on clouds and convection, and their relationships with large-scale environment Development of various statistics (mean/anomaly of PDF, profiles, EOF) and diagnostics (e.g. RH vs rain rate) to characterize the moisture structure and the evolution of cloud populations Ongoing Work Quantify uncertainty and biases associated with the sensitivity of instrument and/or algorithm, sampling issues, and resolution. (all suggestions are welcome!) Separate cases of different MJO types; extend to other regions (W. Pac)/time period (summer) Use cloud resolving model experiments to understand the feedback from the cloud populations to the large scale environment Continue developing process-oriented diagnostics/constraints for global model/regional model output for key processes associated with MJO initiation and propagation

23 Scientific Objectives of DYNAMO Three key-processes (particularly during the initiation) The role of moisture and moistening process The role of cloud population Air-sea interaction/coupling ERA40 RH vs GPCP precip Develop process-oriented diagnostics for model evaluation Potential improvements in model parameterization entrainment triggering stochastic component boundary layer rain evaporation boundary layer and large-scale cloudiness Example of process-oriented diagnostics of MJO for GCM evaluation proposed by the YOTC MJO Task Force [Kim et al., 2009]
24 Three Hypotheses to be Explored by DYNAMO Hypothesis I: Deep convection can be organized into an MJO convective envelope only when the moist layer has become sufficiently deep over a region of the MJO scale; the pace at which this moistening occurs determines the duration of the pre-onset state. Hypothesis II: Specific convective populations at different stages are essential to MJO initiation. Hypothesis III: The barrier layer, windand shear-driven mixing, shallow thermocline, and mixing-layer entrainment all play essential roles in MJO initiation in the Indian Ocean by controlling the upperocean heat content and SST, and thereby surface flux feedback.
