Do We Need to Include the MJO Information in the Cyclone Intensity Prediction Models?

MM Ali

Tropical cyclones are the deadliest and the most damaging natural disasters effecting through strong winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge, which in turn depends upon the winds and the local bathymetry. In addition to the efforts to improve the physics of the cyclone prediction models, it is worthwhile to investigate whether including any unexplored parameter can improve the cyclone prediction. Madden-Julian Oscillation referred to as MJO. It is one of such least explored phenomena that have an impact on the cyclone intensity. This short note investigates the impact of MJO on cyclone wind magnitude providing an opportunity for further exploring the possibility of incorporating into the dynamical models.
