On The Role Of Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclones In Shaping The Extratropical Circulation Response To The Madden-Julian Oscillation, Lawrence Christian Gloeckler
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Relationships between the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) and the extratropical circulation have been leveraged extensively to improve subseasonal prediction. However, in certain situations, tropical cyclones (TCs), which often coincide with enhanced MJO activity, can constructively or destructively interfere with MJO organization and common pathways through which the extratropics responds to the MJO. To examine this potential interference, the first portion of this study leverages a statistical experiment to relate West Pacific TC presence in different parts of the basin during a given MJO phase to subsequent remote extratropical circulation outcomes. The results of this experiment demonstrate that significant, high amplitude remote …
