Extreme climate events such as severe droughts and floods have become more frequent and widespread in the 21st Century. Recent studies have revealed the tele-connections between Madden– Julian Oscillation (MJO) and extreme precipitation over …
The impact of the Madden– Julian oscillation (MJO) on the global land surface soil moisture was explored in the study. The MJO index was calculated from long term 1997– 2013 GPCP precipitation and ERA-Interim 850-hPa and 250-hPa zonal winds. The …
