Index based on the first extended EOF analysis of 200hPa velocity potential anomalies from equatorward of 30N
MJO Index
Chen Y. and A. D. Del Genio, Climate Dynamics, 2008
Maloney E. and D. L. Hartmann, J. Climate, 1998
Index based on the first two EOFs of the bandpass-filtered (20 - 80 days) 850hPa zonal wind averaged from 5N to 5S
every 2.5 around the equator
Wheeler M. C. and H. H. Hendon, Monthly Weather Review, 2004
Index based on the first two EOFs of the combined fields of 850hPa zonal wind, 200hPa zonal wind, and OLR data
averaged from 15N to 15S every 2.5 around the equator
Tian B., Waliser D. E., and E. J. Fetzer, GRL, 2006
Index based on the first extended EOF analysis of the bandpass-filtered (30 - 90 days) rainfall anomalies from
30N to 30S every 1 around the equator
Index based on the first extended EOF analysis of 200hPa velocity potential anomalies from equatorward of 30N

THE TESTS
1. Verify Large-Scale Circulation Variations √√
2. Verify Associated Changes in Cloud Property Distributions (WS – slide 14)
3. Verify Associated Variations of Diabatic Heating and Winds – Amplitude & Phase
4. Identify Key Process(es) in Model
5. Verify Behavior in Observations
