AbstractDue to small Coriolis force in tropics, the theoretical study of Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) often assumes weak temperature gradient balance, which neglects the temperature feedback (manifested in temperature tendency term). In this study, the effect of the temperature feedback on the MJO is investigated by using the MJO trio-interaction model, which can capture the essential large-scale features of the MJO.The scale analysis indicates that the rotation effect is strong for the MJO scales, so that the temperature feedback is as import as the moisture feedback (manifested in moisture tendency term), the latter is often considered to be critical for MJO. The experiments with the theoretical model show that the temperature feedback has significant impact on the MJO’s maintenance. When the temperature feedback is turned off, the simulated MJO cannot be maintained over the warm pool. This is because the temperature feedback could boost the energy generation. Without temperature feedback, only the latent heat can be generated. With temperature feedback, not only the latent heat but also the enthalpy (and therefore the available potential energy) can be generated. Therefore, the total energy generation is more efficient with temperature feedback, favoring the self-maintenance of the MJO. Further investigation shows that this effect of the temperature feedback on MJO amplification can be inferred from observations.The findings here indicates that the temperature feedback could have non-negligible impacts on MJO, and have implications in the simulation of MJO.

Rotational Fresnel drag – or orbital Faraday rotation – in a rotating magnetised plasma is uncovered and studied analytically for Trivelpiece–Gould and whistler–helicon waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Plasma rotation is shown to introduce a non-zero phase shift between OAM-carrying eigenmodes with opposite helicities, similarly to the phase shift between spin angular momentum eigenmodes associated with the classical Faraday effect in a magnetised plasma at rest. By examining the dispersion relation for these two low-frequency modes in a Brillouin rotating plasma, this Faraday–Fresnel rotation effect is traced back to the combined effects of Doppler shift, centrifugal forces and Coriolis forces. In addition, the longitudinal group velocity in the presence of rotation is shown to depend both on rotation and azimuthal mode, therefore predicting the Faraday–Fresnel splitting of the envelope of a wave packet containing a superposition of OAM-carrying eigenmodes with opposite helicities.
