  1. (, Geophysical Research Letters)
    Abstract The eastward propagation of the Madden‐Julian oscillation (MJO) is known to hinge crucially on the effects of horizontal moisture advection, which involve two main types of circulation anomalies. The first are those of the MJO itself, while the second are those of embedded Rossby‐type “eddies,” which tend to be most active to the west of the MJO's convective center. To quantify the relative importance of the eddies, a novel approach is taken in which their formal definition is given by the residual of a least‐squares fit to an observed bivariate MJO index. Results show that the eddies, when defined in this way, are generally of leading importance for fostering the MJO's eastward propagation in terms of column‐integrated moisture. The picture is seen to be reversed, however, when using a traditional filter‐based method to define the eddies, which are then strictly “high‐frequency” in nature.
