48 Conclusion Separate ER wave and MJO composites demonstrate importance of assessing ER wave events relative to MJO Sum of two sets of events yields little additional information about extratropical circulation than MJO alone Simultaneous assessment of MJO and ER wave events yields more information about extratropical circulation than can be obtained from either mode alone

49 Conclusion MJO Convection Extratropical Rossby Waves Equatorial Rossby Waves
