cycle of precipitations of MJO

the animation of the life cycle of the MJO : total precipitation and CMAP anomalies (legend is in mm / day-1).

overall structure of the MJO

An animation of the MJO cycle in the Upper troposphere (200 hPa). The thick dashed outline is the increased
area of rainfall and the thick solid line describes the area of reduced rainfall. legend for shading pressure.
