Winter and spring tornado activity tends to be heightened during the La Niña phase of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and suppressed during the El Niño phase. Despite these tendencies, some La Niña seasons have fewer tornadoes than expected and some El Niño seasons have more than expected. To gain insight into such anomalous seasons, the two La Niña winters and springs with the fewest tornadoes and the two El Niño winters and springs with the most tornadoes between 1979 and 2016 are identified and analyzed in this study. The relationships between daily tornado count and the Global Wind Oscillation and Madden-Julian Oscillation in these anomalous seasons are also explored. Lastly, seasonal and daily composites of upper-level flow, low-level flow and humidity, and atmospheric instability are generated to describe the environmental conditions in the anomalous seasons. The results of this study highlight the potential for large numbers of tornadoes to occur in a season if favorable conditions emerge in association with individual synoptic-scale events, even during phases of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation, Global Wind Oscillation, and Madden-Julian Oscillation that seem to be unfavorable for tornadoes. They also highlight the potential for anomalously few tornadoes in a season even when the oscillations are in favorable phases.

Abstract Composite global patterns associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) are frequently applied to help make predictions of weather around the globe at lead times beyond a few days. However, ENSO modulates the background states through which the MJO and its global response patterns propagate. This paper explores the possibility that nonlinear variations confound the combined use of composites based on the MJO and ENSO separately. Results indicate that when both modes are active at the same time, the associated patterns in the global flow are poorly represented by simple linear combinations of composites based on the MJO and ENSO individually. Composites calculated by averaging data over periods when both modes are present at the same time more effectively describe the associated weather patterns. Results reveal that the high-latitude response to the MJO varies with ENSO over all longitudes, but especially across the North Pacific Rim, North America, and the North Atlantic. Further analysis demonstrates that the MJO influence on indexes of the North Atlantic Oscillation is greatest during La Niña conditions or during periods of rapid adjustment in the phase of ENSO.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat pemodelan prediksi titik panas (hotspot) di wilayah Asia Tenggara bagian Selatan dengan sejumlah prediktor signifikan menggunakan Model Multiple Regression (MR) dan untuk melakukan verifikasi prediksi model tersebut. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu data observasi titik panas (hotspot) di Wilayah Indonesia yakni di Pulau Kalimantan dan Sumatera dan di Wilayah Semenanjung Malaysia serta Sabah-Sarawak. Kemudian data indeks El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) dan Monsun selama 6 tahun mulai dari tahun 2013 hingga 2018 sebagai data prediktor. Metode yang digunakan yaitu Model Multiple Regression dengan Metode Regresi Stepwise dan verifikasi skill model prediksi yang digunakan yaitu Korelasi Pearson dan RMSE. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan dan verifikasi prediksi terbaiknya, diperoleh nilai Korelasi Pearson sebesar 0,698 dan nilai RMSE-nya sebanyak 908 hotspot. Untuk model prediksi di wilayah Sumatera oleh 7 prediktor signifikan yang terkait dengan kejadian hotspot yaitu, IOD 0 (IOD pada bulan munculnya hotspot), MJO 0, MJO 9, MJO 10, Mons 1, MJO 8, dan MJO 5. Untuk wilayah Kalimantan nilai Korelasi Pearson sebesar 0,795 dan nilai RMSE-nya sebanyak 1150 hotspot oleh 4 prediktor signifikan, MJO 9 (MJO pada 9 bulan sebelum munculnya hotspot), Mons 1, Mons 0, dan ENSO 3. Untuk wilayah Semenanjung Malaysia diperoleh nilai Korelasi Pearson sebesar 0,145 dan nilai RMSE-nya sebanyak 135 hotspot oleh 2 prediktor signifikan, Mons 2 (Mons pada 2 bulan sebelum munculnya hotspot) dan MJO 0. Kemudian untuk wilayah Sabah dan Sarawak diperoleh nilai Korelasi Pearson sebesar 0,242 dan nilai RMSE-nya sebanyak 113 hotspot oleh 2 prediktor signifikan, IOD 2 (IOD pada 2 bulan sebelum munculnya hotspot) dan MJO 0. Untuk wilayah Sumatera prediktor yang paling berpengaruh yaitu IOD 0, yakni fenomena IOD khususnya fenomena IOD (+) penyebab terjadinya musim kering ini beberapa kali terjadi di wilayah Pulau Sumatera karena letaknya berdekatan langsung dengan Samudera Hindia sehingga iklimnya juga dipengaruhi oleh lautan di dekatnya. Untuk fenomena MJO dan Monsun yang paling berpengaruh di Wilayah Kalimantan (MJO 9), Semenanjung Malaysia (Mons 2) serta Sabah - Sarawak (MJO 0). Kedua fenomena tersebut secara periodik selalu melintas di ketiga wilayah tadi khususnya berkontribusi pada bulan-bulan terjadinya musim kering, sehingga diindikasikan dapat mempengaruhi munculnya hotspot.

Abstract Climate variabilities can have significant impacts on rainfall in East Africa, leading to disruption in natural and human systems and affecting the lives of tens of millions of people. Subseasonal and interannual variabilities are critical components of total rainfall variability in the region. The goal of this study is to examine the combined effects of the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO), operating at subseasonal timescale, and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), operating at an interannual scale, on the modulation of East African boreal fall (October-November-December; OND) rainfall, commonly called the short rains. Composite analysis shows that daily rainfall responses depend on MJO phase and its interaction with ENSO state. In particular, MJO modulation of rainfall is generally stronger under El Niño conditions relative to ENSO neutral and La Niña conditions, leading to increased potential for daily precipitation excesses during wet MJO phases under El Niño. There is evidence for both dynamic and thermodynamic mechanisms associated with these impacts, including an increase in westerly moisture transport and easterly advection of temperature and moist static energy. Seasonal analysis shows that the frequency and intensity of wet MJO phases during an El Niño contribute notably to the seasonal total precipitation anomaly. This suggests that MJO can mediate El Niño’s impact on OND rainfall in East Africa.

IntisariKlimatologi badai petir (TS) dianalisis dengan memanfaatkan pengamatan SYNOP per 3-jam dari 8 stasiun cuaca BMKG yang berada di wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya selama periode tahun 2000-2012. Frekuensi kejadian TS pada tiap lokasi dihitung berdasarkan perbandingan antara jumlah laporan TS pada data SYNOP dengan jumlah total observasi yang dilakukan oleh stasiun yang bersangkutan. Hasil pengolahan data menunjukkan bahwa TS memiliki dua pola klimatologi yang dominan dan paling sering terjadi pada periode sebelum dan sesudah musim hujan, terutama pada bulan November dan April. Hasil analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa TS sangat bergantung pada topografi dari lokasi yang bersangkutan, yang mengindikasikan pengaruh kuat dari siklus harian akibat konveksi kuat dan pola angin darat-laut di wilayah Jakarta dan sekitarnya. Pada beberapa lokasi yang berdekatan dengan Teluk Jakarta, periode puncak kejadian TS juga terjadi pada puncak musim hujan akibat pengaruh dari monsun barat laut dan seruak dingin yang datang dari Laut Tiongkok Selatan. Variabilitas iklim global seperti ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) dan MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) turut memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap frekuensi TS. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa frekuensi TS mengalami peningkatan pada periode La Nina kuat, serta pada periode sebelum dan sesudah MJO melintasi Indonesia bagian barat.    AbstractThunderstorm (TS) climatology was analyzed by utilizing 3-hourly SYNOP observation of 8 BMKG’s weather stations in Jakarta capital and surrounding area during the period of 2000-2012. The frequency of TS occurrences at each location was calculated based on the ratio of TS reports to the total number of SYNOP observations conducted by the stations. The results show that the TS has two dominant climatological patterns in which most cases, the peak periods both preced and succeed the rainy season, especially in November and April. The results also imply that TS occurences are heavily influenced by the topography at each location, which indicate the great dependency of TS to the diurnal cycle generated by strong convective activity and land-sea breeze circulation over Jakarta and surronding regions. On the other hand, the peak period of TS at some locations close to Jakarta Bay, occurs simultaneously with the peak of rainy season by the influence of north-westerly monsoon and cold surge coming from the South China Sea. Global climate variabilities such as ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) and MJO (Madden-Julian Oscillation) also significantly contribute to the anomaly of TS frequency. The results show an enhancement of TS frequency during the period of strong La Nina, as well as the period before and after MJO passes the western part of Indonesia.
