  1. The MJO Precipitating Cloud Population over the Central Indian Ocean as seen by the TRMM PR Hannah C. Barnes Robert A. Houze, Jr. University of Washington MJO Field Data and Science Workshop 5 March 2013, Hapuna Beach Resort, Kohala Coast, Hawaii

  2. Precipitating Cloud Population By Phase Isolated, Shallow Echoes Deep Convective Cores Broad Stratiform Regions Active Suppressed

  3. Relationship Between Precipitating Cloud Population and Large-Scale Conditions

  4. Large-Scale Conditions 4 Pressure (hPa) 8 2-3 1 23 1 4 Relative Humidity (%) Zonal Wind (ms-1) Solid lines = active, dashed = suppressed

  5. Large-Scale 1000-750 hPa Shear Shading = shear magnitude ms-1 Frequency (%) Number ISE DCC WCC BSR MJO Phase

  6. Large-Scale 750-500 hPa Shear Shading = shear magnitude ms-1 ISE DCC WCC BSR Frequency (%) MJO Phase
