Precipitation anomaly composites for different Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) phases. a Interpolated OLR by NOAA polar-orbiting series of satellites (NOAA-OLR; Liebmann and Smith, 1996) and c OLR by a single simulation initialized at 00 UTC 17 November 2011. b Precipitation by the 3B42 product of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite (Huffman et al. 2007) and d precipitation by the simulation. The figures consist of slices that show horizontal snapshots of the tropical Indian Ocean to the western Pacific Ocean (10°S–10°N, 40°E–160°W). The resolution of the simulated OLR is lowered to 2.5° mesh to equal the resolution of the NOAA-OLR data set. The resolutions of the TRMM 3B42 data set and the simulated precipitation are lowered to 1° mesh. After Fig. 3 of Miyakawa et al. (2014)
