Dominant form of intraseasonal variability in the tropics
Strongest during boreal winters
Slow (~5 m/s) eastward-propagating oscillations in tropical deep convection and large-scale circulation
Life cycle ~ 40–60 days

Operational forecasts can now predicts weather 2 weeks ahead
Impacts of the MJO on the chemical components have only been realized recently
Advanced knowledge of air quality, e.g. Air Quality Index
Helpful for emergency control and release of early warnings to vulnerable
Impacts on tracers: Motivation
