Description:

Accurately simulating the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) and subseasonal convective variability in numerical models has been historically difficult, and despite recent progress many challenges remain. Modeling studies improve our understanding of the tropical atmosphere, allow for creative hypothesis testing, and are vital to understanding MJO changes in a warming climate. We invite presentations which discuss advances in modeling the MJO or related modes of tropical convection across a wide range of numerical frameworks, from idealized models to state-of-the-art GCMs. We further welcome work demonstrating novel numerical modeling experiments or new modeling frameworks that might advance our understanding of subseasonal convection.
