Abstract The Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of intraseasonal variability in tropics and has a documented influence on extratropical extreme weather through modulation synoptic atmospheric conditions. MJO phase been correlated with anomalous tornado severe hail frequency United States (US). However, robustness this relationship unsettled, physical pathways to poorly underst...

This work is being done in conjunction with other observational and modelling research aimed at improving the representation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) in global models. In combines remote sensing and in-situ observations made from the RV-Revell during legs 2 & 3 of the DYNAMO experiement to help characterize vertical transport through the boundary layer and to build statistics of t...

We present an improvement over the Wang-Teter, Perrot, and Smargiassi-Madden kinetic-energy functionals without going beyond linear-response theory and without introducing a density-dependent kernel. The improved functionals were tested on bulk aluminum, and excellent results were obtained. Accurate densityfunctional calculations using the new functionals on systems larger than one can study by...
