Examine the impact of MJO evolution on the evolutions of cloud size distributions. Found that cloud size distributions vary greatly at large diameters during the MJO. Deep convective and cirrostratus cloud objects evolve with MJO with phase delays. Shallow cumulus and overcast-stratus objects evolve in nearly opposite phases. Stratocumulus are similar to deep convective and cirrostratus but peak earlier.
