RE: Can we call MJO as strong
Permalink
The location of the MJO can influence the strength of the Hadley circulation at certain positions (longitudes) depending on where the enhanced and suppressed phases are located. More here: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/what-mjo-and-why-do-we… ... where rainfall is greater than average, you can assume there is more rising motion and as a result the north-south oriented overturning circulation (Hadley) in that region is increased. But the opposite is true when rainfall is less than average.
