Abstract
AbstractThe impact of the Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO) on the intraseasonal PNA (ISPNA) was investigated and was found to be modulated by the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which reasonably explains the skewness of the ISPNA during El Niño and La Niña winters. It was shown that the intensity and periodicity of the ISPNA was much stronger and slightly longer in La Niña winters than in the El Niño winters. The phase‐locked association between the ISPNA and MJO indicate that this skewness was controlled by the MJO. The northward Rossby wave activities derived from the tropics associated with the MJO to the subtropical Pacific sector of the ISPNA clarified that the stronger intensity of the MJO convection in the western Pacific during the La Niña winters, as well as the slower eastward propagation of the MJO, led to the asymmetric intensity and period of the ISPNA in the two ENSO phases.
