Two new studies supported by the Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program offer data-driven insights into the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of tropical intraseasonal variability.

The future of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, or ENSO, is the subject of a new book published by the American Geophysical Union. 

Research supported by the Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP) program challenges long-standing beliefs on what led to the development of the 1970s Great Salinity Anomaly and resulting shutdown of the Labrador Sea deep convection. 

Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP)-funded researchers find that a common Southern Ocean bias in CMIP5 climate models is due to errors in the simulated ocean circulation.

Better prediction of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) can lead to better prediction in related meteorological variables, such as precipitation. However, the relationship between MJO skill and the predictive potential for meteorological variables is complex, as this Climate Variability & Predictability (CVP)-supported study shows.
