The MODES workshop summary report entitled "Normal modes of atmospheric variability in observations, numerical weather prediction and climate models" has been accepted for electronic publication in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
A new methodology for the analysis of atmospheric predictability based on the modal decomposition is developed and applied to the ECMWF operational ensemble prediction system.
The workshop associated with the normal mode function representation of the atmosphere and its application in numerical weather prediction and climate research was held at the National center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado 26-28 August 2015.
A new method for the three-dimensional multivariate decomposition of the Madden-Julian Oscillation into balanced and inertio-gravity components is published in August issue of GRL. The paper is fully accessible at
