The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is a planetary-scale wave envelope of smaller-scale convective processes, slowly propagating eastward at the equator, going around the Earth in 30 to 60 days. The convection and circulation anomalies associated with the MJO affect weather and climate in many parts of the globe. This set of files contain a Julia implementation of the MJO skeleton model, a minimal nonlinear oscillator model of the MJO, with observation-based, time-dependent forcing functions. The code computes the forcing functions from reanalysis data, runs the skeleton model with these functions, and produces figures from the output data.
