Dynamic Characteristics of the Circulation and Diurnal Spatial Cycle of Outgoing Longwave Radiation in the Different Phases of the Madden–Julian Oscillation during the Formation of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone

In this work, we verified the formation of the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) during the active, unfavorable, and transition phases of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), as well as the diurnal spatial variability in the estimated Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) data. The real-time multiv...
