Realtime Precipitation Tracking
Summary
Large-Scale Precipitation Tracking (LPT) is a new Lagrangian precipitation method introduced by Kerns and Chen (2016) and updated in Kerns and Chen (2020).
The real-time tracking of MJO precipitation systems can be visualized here. Previous years can also be displayed using the web application.
