  1. Operation Plan and Current Status of CINDY2011 CINDY2011 : Cooperative Indian Ocean experiment on isv in the Year 2011 Kunio Yoneyama and Masaki Katsumata (JAMSTEC) • Basic Idea • Observation Network • Current Status Purpose : Study on Intraseasonal Variability in the Indian Ocean with focus on the initiation of convection in Madden-Julian Oscillation. DYNAMO Planning Workshop at NOAA/ESRL Boulder, CO, April 13-14, 2009

  2. Scientific Background – Period & Location MISMO Preference of MJO-convection Occurrence Period : November – January Location : 80E – 100E (Above is convective center. Western edge of convective ensemble is often found around 60E)

  3. Observation Plan - Basic Idea Basic Strategy : Based on the experience of MISMO, the key of the experiment is to construct a long-time (over intraseasonal period) and wider areal observation network with ships and land-based sites in collaboration with RAMA buoy array. * It should be appropriate to evaluate contribution from Rossby wave. * Multi-national effort (Japan, USA, Australia, India, Seychelles, Indonesia, France, … ) * Numerical group should be involved. (ex. NICAM) Period : Oct. 2011 – Jan. 2012 Location : On and around the central equatorial Indian Ocean

  4. Proposed Network for CINDY2011 Ship (Japan, India, USA, Australia, etc.) RAMA Surface mooring (existing/planned as of Dec. 2008) Land-based sounding site (routine/possibleenhanced sites) HARIMAU Seychelles

  5. Tentative Schedule of R/V Mirai • Oct. 10 leave Japan • Oct. 20 call at Singapore • Oct. 25 arrive Observation point • Nov. ?? call at Maldives (1-2 days) • Dec. 15 leave Observation point • Dec. 19 arrive Seychelles • ------------------------------------ • Dec. 20 leave Seychelles for WOCE-type cruise • Remarks. • Cruise consists of 2 legs • (Singapore ~ Maldives, Maldives ~ Seychelles) • Flexibility with maximum 2 weeks shift (backward or forward) About 50 days on station

  6. Observations on-board the R/V Mirai Expected Measurement Systems to be used : C-band Doppler radar Radiosonde ( every 3h to resolve diurnal cycle ) Surface Meteorology including Solar radiation and Turbulent Flux Skin Sea Surface Temperature measurement CTD ( every 3 or 6h ) with water sampling ADCP Vertical-pointing 95-GHz Cloud radar LIDAR Ozone-sonde Videosonde Microstructure Profiler Maintenance of RAMA buoys (2 ADCP and 2 Surface buoys ?)

  7. Relevant Proposal in JAMSTEC Repeat Hydrography along WHP – I02 (8ºS) and I10 (~111ºE) PI : Dr. Akihiko Murata /JAMSTEC Period :55 days in Dec. 2011 – Feb. 2012 (after CINDY cruise) Measurements :217 CTD stations from Surface to the Bottom Temp., Sal, DO, Nutrients, Total dissolved inorganic carbon, Total Alkalinity,pH, CFCs, 14C, 13C, etc. Data will be submitted to CLIVAR & Carbon Hydrographic Data Office http://whpo.ucsd.edu/

  8. Participation from India and Australia India * R/V Sagar Kanya (India) - Committed - 1) led by S. P. Kumar (NIO) Biogeochemical cruise (CTD at fixed site) 30 days in IO They will look for the possibility of Radiosonde observation. 2) led by VSN Murty (NIO) RAMA cruise (~30 days) Australia * R/V Southern Surveyor (Australia) - Will be Proposed - led by E. Schulz, M. Wheeler, H. Hendon (CAWCR) From Colombo, Sri Lanka to Christmas Island max 25 days on station Air-sea flux + Radiosonde sounding

  9. HARIMAU(Hydrometeorological ARray for ISV-Monsoon Automonitoring) http://www.jamstec.go.jp/iorgc/harimau/ Doppler radar + Auto Weather Station Wind Profiler + Auto Weather Station Wind Profiler Doppler radar

  10. Radiosonde Observation at Seychelles Seychelles National Weather Services will conduct radiosonde sounding twice daily during the campaign (4 months) with intensive 6-hourly launch for designated 1 month (i.e., late October - early December).

  11. Misc. Web Pages CINDY http://www.jamstec.go.jp/iorgc/cindy/ MISMO http://www.jamstec.go.jp/iorgc/mismo/ Data Policy Encourage participants to open QCed data within 1-year from the end of campaign (~ Feb. 2013) Symposium or Workshop in 2012 1 year from CINDY 20 years from TOGA-COARE

  12. Eastward and Westward Propagating Signals Vorticity PWV Anomaly Velocity Potential + TBB

  13. Impact of MISMO Radiosonde Data onto Reanalysis Data set Using reanalysis data called ALERA (AFES-LETKF Experimental Reanalysis) which uses ensemble Kalman filter assimilation technique, we examined the impact of MISMO radiosonde data onto objective reanalysis.

  14. Temporal Buoy deployment (not fixed yet) 80.5E Process Study by NOAA/PMEL & NIO 79E 82E ATLAS ADCP or ADCP m-TRITON ? ADCP mooring ( 1 yr ) Surface Buoy (only IOP)

  15. Scientific Background – Location MJO-associated OLR variance (in W2m-4) during the OND season for 1974-2006, computed using multiple linear regression of daily OLR data with the two-component (RMM1,RMM2) Wheeler-Hendon MJO index. Courtesy M. Wheeler
