• While low frequency variability is predominately featured in the global tropics, the
reemergence of a more coherent MJO signal is evident. The uptick of intraseasonal
activity constructively interfered with El Nino and likely triggered an unusually strong
westerly wind burst event over the equatorial Pacific during mid-November.
• Dynamical models remain in good agreement depicting continued eastward propagation
of the MJO over the Indian Ocean and into the Maritime Continent during the next
several weeks. Favored increases (decreases) in amplitude in RMM space appear to be
tied to constructive (destructive) interference with the +IOD (El Nino and other modes of
variability) in the forecast period.
• The large scale environment is expected to remain conducive for tropical cyclogenesis
over the Indian Ocean through the end of November, with more favorable conditions for
development shifting eastward into the Pacific later in the outlook period.
• The extratropical response associated with eastward propagating Indian Ocean MJO
events during late autumn typically leads to the development mid-level ridging and
above-normal temperatures over the central and eastern U.S.
