Effect of Madden Julian oscillation on convectively coupled equatorial waves by Dobriyal, Ritvik

“…Greater effect of MJO on CCEW is noticed over the zonal extent in which the convective component of MJO is strong, ranging from the Indian Ocean to western Pacific Ocean (nearly 60°E to 180°). MJO is also found to affect CCEW over Africa and near South America if wave activity peaks in these regions, however the effect is nearly half as strong or weaker. …”
