Not really sure why the comment should be deleted. It is an opinion just as most of what is posted is. There is no statement made to the effect that the MJO has not been proven to have any effect, just that in the opinion of the poster, this current edition will have little impact on the Atlantic basin, as have the last several. Delete the post ??????? Why not burn books as well.

The wet phase of MJO is already in parts of the Atlantic.However the full wet phase is still in the Pacific.

Luis thanks for the graphic would you say the wet phase of the MJO is a factor in the SW Caribbean blob that models are picking up on?

The wet phase is spreading thru the Eastern Atlantic where TD #4 is and where the central Atlantic Wave is.

Wet phase should be the trigger. Watch the hostility subside now.

We've had a moist upper visible here at sunset, meaning the conditions are improving.

The wet phase of the MJO and the increase in activity....Nope, don't think this is merely a coincidence either.

The wet pulse of MJO is strong now in the Atlantic.

It looks like the dry phase is starting to enter the Atlantic.

It's also interesting that Ioke is in the dry phase, and yet so powerful.

There has been a noticable lack of convection besides Ioke in the CPAC. So, yes, the dry MJO has had an effect. The entire CPAC is now very hostile due to a strong TUTT that has formed north of Hawaii.

I think the MJO may have to do more with the formation of storms rather than the intensification of storms.

Anyone have anything to add, analysis wise, as to the MJO and our current state of activity? This was pretty far back, BTW.

According to a published article in SCIENCE, hurricane genesis is four times more likely in the WCarib and GOM when MJO winds are westerly.
