10 Motivation of the ISVHE The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO, Madden-Julian 1971, 1994) interacts with, and influences, a wide range of weather and climate phenomena (e.g., monsoons, ENSO, tropical storms, mid-latitude weather), and represents an important, and as yet unexploited, source of predictability at the subseasonal time scale (Lau and Waliser, 2005). The Boreal Summer Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillation (BSISO) is one of the dominant short-term climate variability in global monsoon system (Webster et al. 1998, Wang 2006). The wet and dry spells of the MISO strongly influence extreme hydro-meteorological events, which composed of about 80% of natural disaster, thus the socio-economic activities in the World's most populous monsoon region. Need for a Coordinated Multi-Model ISO Hindcast Experiment The development of an Multi-model Hindcast is the intrinsic need for lead-dependent model climatologies (i.e. multi-decade hindcast datasets) to properly quantify and combine the independent skill of each model as a function of lead-time and season. There are still great uncertainties regarding the level of predictability that can be ascribed to the MJO, other subseasonal phenomena and the weather/climate components that they interact with and influence. The development and analysis of a multi-model hindcast experiment is needed to address the above questions and challenges.

16 Bimodal Representation of the Tropical ISO Boreal Winter Rainfall anomalies propagate in a eastward fashion and mainly affect the Tropical eastern hemisphere Boreal Summer Rainfall anomalies propagate in a northeast fashion and mainly affect the Asian summer monsoon region Spatial temporal pattern of OLR anomaly associated with the intraseasonal oscillation during (a) boreal winter (DJF, referred to as Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) mode) and (b) boreal summer (JJA, referred to as BSISO mode) by means of the extended EOF (EEOF) analysis. Kikuch et al. (2011, Clim Dyn)

17 The RMM Index for the MJO As a measure of the strength of the MJO, Wheeler and Hendon (2004) Realtime Multivariate MJO (RMM) index used the first two leading multivariate EOF modes of the equatorial mean (between 15S and 15N) OLR, and zonal winds at 850 and 200 hpa. This index captures equatorial eastward propagating mode, the MJO, very well and has been applied all year around to depict MJO activity. Wheeler an Hendon (2004) RMM index has limitation to explain ISO over offequatorial monsoon domain during boreal summer.
