IITM study on how the MJO and global rainfall patterns are changing due to Indo-Pacific warming

Global rainfall pattern changes due to Indo-Pacific warming. In a new study published by IITM (Roxy et. al.,) in the journal Nature, researchers report a twofold expansion of the Indo-Pacific warm pool which has altered the global weather patterns, via changing the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO).
