Time series of MJO-NPJ interaction (left panels, as described in Fig. 3i) and time-longitude evolution of the 200 mb zonal wind (right panels) maximum over the North Pacific basin (20°N–50°N) for the 2023–2024 MJO event (a) and its three analogs b 2009–2010, c 2013–2014, and d 2016. The black dashed line denotes the dateline, while the gray dashed line denotes the longitude of Los Angeles.
