Application of MJO Diagnostics to GCMsApplication of MJO Diagnostics to GCMs
Undertaking a uniform application of MJO diagnostics to a number of contemporary GCMs. D. Kim has agreed to undertake the analysis and we plan to present these results at the MJO Workshop and write up the results into a journal article. The GCMs and associated institution leads are:

Developing MJO Forecast Developing MJO Forecast Metrics/DiagnosticsMetrics/Diagnostics
• Discussions to date have led to the adoption of the so-called Wheeler-Hendon combined EOF (u200, u850, OLR) index.
• A number of centers (BMRC, NCEP, ECMWF, UKMO, CMA) are using this operationally.
• We (i.e. K. Weickmann) are beginning to acquire these indices in real-time to post on the Experimental MJO Prediction website as a proof-of-concept.
• We may move this acquisition/dissemination process to CPC/NCEP via W. Higgins/J. Gottshalck.
• Our plans are eventually to produce a multi-model ensemble (MME) of these values. Standard calculations need to be agreed upon in order to properly implement and interpret this MME measure.
• We expect/hope that this may lead to a journal article.
• Additional measures, particularly applicable to the Asian Monsoon may be needed.
