Moist deep convection organized on planetary to synoptic scales in the tropical atmosphere evolves together with extratropical Rossby waves that extend from the tropics and across high latitudes as well as from the extratropics into the tropics. This convection is organized in part into the 30-60 day eastward-moving Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) and higher frequency convectively coupled atmospheric equatorial waves. Both the MJO and these convectively coupled waves interact with extratropical waves. This project endeavors to explain how these convectively coupled equatorial waves and extratropical waves might interact with each other and the wave breaking process in a manner that causes some of the major attributes of the MJO.The MJO profoundly influences extended range (4+ days) prediction of extreme weather events around the globe ranging from tropical cyclones to excessive heat, cold, floods, and droughts. The study will provide insights into the mechanisms whereby the MJO interacts with extratropical waves that are associated with such extreme events. Thus the work has substantial broader impacts.

热带大气中从行星到天气尺度组织的潮湿深层对流与温带罗斯贝波一起演化，温带罗斯贝波从热带延伸到高纬度地区，以及从温带延伸到热带。这种对流部分组织为 30-60 天向东移动的马登-朱利安振荡 (MJO) 和高频对流耦合大气赤道波。 MJO 和这些对流耦合波都与温带波相互作用。该项目致力于解释这些对流耦合的赤道波和温带波如何相互作用以及波浪破碎过程如何导致 MJO 的一些主要属性。MJO 深刻影响扩展范围（4 天以上）的预测全球范围内的极端天气事件，从热带气旋到过热、寒冷、洪水和干旱。 这项研究将深入了解 MJO 与与此类极端事件相关的温带波相互作用的机制。 因此，这项工作具有更广泛的影响。
