Precipitation anomaly composites for different MJO phases. a Observed 1° daily product version 1.2 by the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (Huffman et al. 2001), and b simulation using NICAM. The average number of days from the initial dates of the simulations are 16 days (phase 3), 25 days (phase 5), and 28 days (phase 7). Resolution of the simulation output is lowered to 1° mesh to equal the resolution of the observational data set. Anomalies are calculated as deviations from 40-day mean values in each case.
