| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We showed that the eastward propagation of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), a huge atmospheric pulse visualized as a ~ 5000 km wide envelope of stormy equatorial convective activity that dominates intraseasonal variation of the tropics and affects the entire globe, is essentially controlled by the large-scale heat/moisture fields rather than equatorial waves embedded in the convectively active area of the MJO. We also showed that the equatorial waves play important roles for the onset of the MJO, and that properties of convective clouds affect the amplitude of the circulation associated with the MJO.
