DYNAMO and TOGA-COARE observations and reanalysis-based surface flux products are
used to test theories of atmosphere-ocean interaction that explain the Madden-Julian
Oscillation (MJO). Negative intraseasonal outgoing longwave radiation, indicating deep
convective clouds, is in phase with increased surface wind stress, decreased solar heating,
and increased surface turbulent heat flux—mostly evaporation—from...
