Description:

While previous studies suggested that salinity could feed back onto MJO variability via modulating upper ocean stratification and further on SST, there is no direct evidence yet proving (or disproving) the importance of this feedback in MJO evolution and its predictability. This study is an initial attempt to quantify the role of SSS feedback on MJO predictability, based on a “perfect model” framework with the CFSv2. Specifically, the SSS feedback is isolated by nudging model SSS to climatological states during forecasts.
