Initiation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation

Many storms around the world have roots in the Indian Ocean, where they are churned up by the atmospheric process called the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). PNNL is working to unlock the secrets of the MJO, particularly how it initiates in the Indian Ocean every 30-60 days. Better prediction of the MJO will help resource managers, weather forecasters and people worldwide better prepare for its effects.

As we see the Madden Julian Oscillation move east, a colder weather pattern is expected to return to the eastern United States in two weeks. As far as storm systems go, it is too early to determine how the MJO relates to storminess this early. Colder weather to arrive in east in the second week of December.

Seems to this is a engine of all Earth wind circulation, sending strong winds to upper atmosphere, then it descends to deserts up and down from equator drying area.
