Today's CCKW analysis based off Kelvin filtered VP200 using the 1.0 degree GFS

LOOP THIS IMAGE
Current snapshot of Atlantic Kelvin filtered 200 hPa Velocity Potential anomalies (shading + contours) and  200 hPa wind anomalies (vectors)
Kelvin Filtered 200 hPa VP anomalies are between +/-2 to +/-9 VPUs. Negative (Positive) Kelvin filtered 200 hPa VP anomalies are cold (warm) colored contours, representing upper-level divergence (convergence). For a 90 day time-longitude plot: Click Here

Kelvin filtered (Left) 200 hPa Velocity Potential and (Right) 200 hPa zonal wind anomalies
Convectively suppressed phase of the Kelvin wave:
RED contours
Convectively active phase of the Kelvin wave: BLUE dashed contours
Kelvin Filtered anomalies are standardized; CINT = 1 STD for VP200 only

MJO analaysis + forecast based off MJO filtered VP200/VP850 using the 1.0 degree GFS

(Left) MJO filtered VP200 anomalies (contours; dashed if negative) and unfiltered VP200 anomalies (shaded) for the last 90 days with appeneded GFS forecast. (Right) Same, but for VP850.
