Description:
The sub-seasonal influence of the QBO on the tropical tropospheric organised convection associated with the MJO remains a topic of interest despite the general difficulty in simulating the relationship in atmospheric models. In this study we use GloSea5 seasonal hindcasts to address this question. By expanding the analysis to seasonal timescales, and accounting for ENSO, we reveal the relationship between the QBO and the tropical west Pacific outgoing longwave radiation both in recent observations and our seasonal hindcasts in boreal winter. The significance of this relationship, and influence on the extratropical circulation is examined.
