Surface heat fluxes and MJO propagation through the Maritime Continent
The 'barrier effect' of the Maritime Continent (MC) is a known hurdle in understanding the propagation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). To understand the differing dynamics of MJO events that propagate versus stall over the MC, a new MJO tracking algorithm utilizing 30-96 day filtered NOAA …

Coupled Air-Sea-Land Interactions: Understanding the MJO Eastward Propagation and Maritime Continent Barrier Effect
… into the West Pacific Ocean (WP) across the Maritime Continent (MC). The MJO has direct impacts on extreme rainfall and flooding over the MC, Southeast Asia and north Australia and tropical cyclones over the IO. The MJO’s downstream influences include tropical cyclones, atmospheric rivers, …

The Madden-Julian Oscillation and the diurnal cycle over the Maritime Continent: scale interactions and modelling
The Maritime Continent archipelago, situated on the equator at 95°–165°E, has the strongest land-based precipitation on Earth. The latent heat release associated with the rainfall affects the atmospheric circulation throughout the tropics and into the extra-tropics. The greatest source of …

Convective cloud and rainfall processes over the Maritime Continent : simulation and analysis of the diurnal cycle
The Maritime Continent experiences strong moist convection, which produces significant rainfall and drives large fluxes of heat and moisture to the upper troposphere. Despite the importance of these processes to global circulations, current predictions of climate change over this region are still …

IMPACTS OF TROPICAL PEAT-FOREST SMOKE: URBAN PM2.5 AND TOXICITY IMPLICATIONS
… tropical peat-forest (PF) burning in the Maritime Continent on regional air quality and public health, this thesis characterizes chemical composition of urban PM2.5. Urban PM2.5 are systematically classified to smoke-dominant (SD) vs. non-SD samples. In-situ pH increases from 1.9 in non-SD …

The relationship between precipitation and electromagnetic signals in the Schumann resonances
… correlations in South America and the Maritime Continent. Physical features of these extraordinary lightning events also provide new insight regarding the electrical and meteorological criteria for sprites. In particular, this thesis provides preliminary evidence for the possibility of …

Evaluating CFSv2 Subseasonal Forecast Skill with an Emphasis on Tropical Convection
… too slowly and rarely traverse beyond the Maritime Continent. The wavenumber-frequency power spectrum for CFSv2 tropical convection is, more so than analyzed/observed spectra, largely described by its background (red) spectrum, lacks distinct peaks for the MJO and Kelvin waves, and confirms …

Land and Sea Breeze Characteristics Off the West Coast of Sumatra
… phenomenon along coastal regions of the Maritime Continent Islands. Previous studies have described the land breeze using the temperature difference observed between the ocean and land surface. Other studies have focused on the land breeze behavior during different phases of the …

The Asian Summer Precipitation Over The Past Five Centuries
… ENSO, precipitation anomalies from the Maritime Continent (MC) via India to northern China are in phase, and this “chain reaction” tends to be largely steady since around 1620 AD; during the decaying phase, however, the summer rainfall-ENSO relationship over the Yangtze River …

Toward better subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction: physics-oriented model evaluation and predictability of tropical cyclones
… the active convection of the MJO is over the Maritime Continent. Further analyses indicated a dry bias within the marine boundary layer and a misrepresented shallow heating mode in the NOGAPS, suggesting a model deficiency in cumulus parameterization. The diabatic heating biases are associated …
