MJO Breakout Group Agenda Jim Benedict Bo-wen Shen Mitch Moncrieff & Duane Waliser - Structure of the MJO in MMF - Comparison of CSU & NASA Goddard MMFs - Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) - CLIVAR MJO Diagnostics Working Group and the plenary talk …. Bill Rossow - Testing the realism of MMF: Representation of MJO Discussion leaders/items Judith Berner Marat Khairoutdinov Hiroaki Muira Mitch Moncrieff - Stochastic backscatter Conventional parameterization MISMO- related (MJO initiation) global simulations Predictability of the MJO (ensemble approach)
The MJO: A comprehensive modeling/prediction/validation problem MJO : A CHALLENGE FOR WEATHER & CLIMATE MODELS, A PROBLEM OF MULTISCALE CONVECTIVE ORGANIZATION (WHICH IS NOT REPRESENTED BY CONTEMPORARY PARAMETERIZATIONS • Weather and Climate models (parameterized convection) • Probabilistic (ensemble) models (parameterized convection) • High-resolution NWP models (hybrid convective parameterization) • Superparameterized models (explicit convection) • Regional and global CRMs (explicit convection) • Theoretical insights … comprehensive models call for comprehensive validation
Priority activities • Representation of the MJO in CMMAP MMF, and comparison with other MMFs • Nature of convective organization in CMMAP MMF MJOs (e. g. , initiation, lifecycle, thermodynamic & dynamical structure, propagation, etc. ) • Evaluation of CMMAP MJOs against observations e. g. , satellite data • Parameterization
