Re: MJO is approaching Sumatera

It is very interesting that some smaller hierarchies in SCS
are clearly along the coastline, which should be a result
of combination with diurnal cycle.
If there is any intermediate scale (around a few days) between
DC and SCS, it makes a day-to-day shift of rainfall peak at a
station as I have shown in a simple calculation a few days ago.
