Toward an Understanding of the Madden-Julian Oscillation: With a Mesoscale-Convection-Resolving Model of 0.2 Degree Grid

Figure 14

(a) Longitude-time sections of the upper-level (200 hPa) cloud water mixing ratio, and relative humidity at 700 hPa, (b) a measure of buoyancy (in unit of temperature) which the air rising from the boundary layer (about 750 m height) acquires at 700 hPa, and relative humidity at 900 hPa, (c) the low-level rainwater mixing ratio, and temperature anomaly at the lowest level of the model ( 𝑃 𝐵 = 9 9 6  hPa), and (d) surface pressure and the zonal velocity at 925 hPa in case (R). The period corresponds to that in Figure 7, but the values are averaged for 3S-3N.
