"Simplified Metrics for the Identification of the Madden-Julian Oscillation in Models"

Kenneth R. Sperber and Daehyun Kim
Atmospheric Science Letters
Revised: March 2012


The netCDF files below contain the EOF's of 20-100 day bandpass filtered AVHRR OLR for winters of strong MJO variability. These are the EOF's onto which the November-April bandpass filtered observations and model OLR have been projected to obtain principal components for the generation of the simplified metrics described in the above article.
