Madden-Julian Oscillation

The current phase is 1 (40-60E & 160-140W)

The impact of this on Austral Winter rainfall is shown below:

This website follows the movement of the MJO using the BMRC's phases, and shows the corresponding rainfall patterns for each phase.

Rainfall Effect
Regions of enhanced rainfall conditions (blue) and suppressed rainfall conditions (red) are marked on maps for each phase.

MSLP Anomalies

Regions of anomalous high and low mean sea level pressure for each phase. Note that highs (red) are associated with dry conditions, and lows (blue) with rainy conditions. The anomalies indicate the regions of enhanced and suppressed rainfall we observe for Australia results from large scale influences of the MJO on the atmosphere.
