Layer‐Dependent Diurnal Moist Static Energy Biases in the Unified Forecast System During the MJO Preconditioning Stage: A DYNAMO Case Study

Abstract Accurate simulation of the Madden‐Julian Oscillation (MJO) requires realistic diurnal evolution and vertical distribution of moist static energy (MSE). While prior studies documented MSE bias in simulations, vertically dependent physical processes responsible for these b...
