Overview
-Theoretical studies vital because lack of numerical data in tropics
-Analytical model using different filtering techniques
-Use equatorial wave theory (on beta-plane) to gain insight on atmospheric phenomena such as MJO
QuickTime™ and aYUV420 codec decompressor
are needed to see this picture.

-4 types of atmospheric waves in equatorial region:
-Inertia gravity, Mixed-Rossby gravity, Rossby, and Kelvin waves
-Most concerned with Rossby and Kelvin waves for MJO
Wave Types

OLR Observations
-Filter out inertia-gravity waves
-OLR shows relative importance of wave types for MJO

Dispersion Diagram-Filters out inertia-gravity wave while retaining Kelvin waves

-Provides a better approximation of Rossby waves of all wavelengths
Rossby Dispersion Approximation

-Two important models: Matsuno and Gill
-Want to improve Gill model because it distorts short Rossby waves
Analytical Models

Gill Model vs. Filtered Model
-Using Ripa (1994) method of separating and h into Kelvin and non-Kelvin parts
Gill using Ripa method Filtered using Ripa method
-Can do this because v=0 for Kelvin waves

-Need to solve a master equation for potential function,
-1st order dispersion relation, instead of cubic
-Gill model dispersion relation does not contain
Potential Function

-Not easy to solve shallow-water equations with convective coupling, need to make assumptions
-Follow framework of Ripa (1994)
-Use arguments of PV, Geostrophic Flow, and Divergence
-Learn more about importance of Rossby and Kelvin modes in MJO
