    Madden-Julian Oscillation Helped Trigger the Early Onset of the Monsoon

    Context

  • The early onset of the southwest monsoon over Kerala this year has caught the attention of meteorologists.

    • What is Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO)

  • The MJO is a moving system of winds, clouds, and pressure that brings rain as it circles around the equator. 
  • It was discovered in 1971 by Roland Madden and Paul Julian.
  • The system travels eastward at 4–8 m/s and circles the globe typically every 30–60 days, though it can take up to 90 days.
  • As it moves, strong MJO activity often splits the planet into two parts — one in which the MJO is in active phase and brings rainfall, and the other in which it suppresses rainfall.
