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

Table 1

Values of 𝜎 at 11-levels where vertical 𝜎-velocities are predicted, the corresponding basic state pressure 𝑃_𝐵, basic state temperatures 𝑇_𝐵, relative humidity at the center of a moist area 𝑅_𝐻0, maximum values of the basic state zonal velocity in the middle latitudes, and those of the zonal velocity of a wave given at the initial time.
