An investigation has been carried out of the influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) using data from the ARM MJO Investigation Experiment (AMIE) during the period October-November 2011. A variety of data from the ARM Mobile Facility deployed during AMIE on Gan Island have been used in the study: 3-hourly atmospheric soundings, the Ka-band ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR) radar reflectivity fields, and the ARM PI-Product CombRet (Combined Retrieval, Microphysical Retrievals, and Heating Rates) produced by PNNL. Additional data used in the study are from CALIPSO, ERAi reanalyses, DYNAMO (Dynamics of the MJO) sounding network observations, the S-PolKa radar on Gan Island, and the DOE ARM sites at Manus and Nauru.
