What is the primary driver of the Madden-Julian Oscillation?
A. Sea surface temperature differences in the Pacific
B. Sea level pressure differences in the Arctic
C. Large-scale atmospheric convection and circulation
D. Sea surface temperature differences in the Indian Ocean
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
The MJO is driven by large-scale atmospheric convection and circulation processes involving the interaction between the ocean and atmosphere, with the propagation of convective systems.
