An important issue in understanding the low frequency evolution of the atmospheric circulation and the ocean-atmosphere system is the role of transients during individual events. We examine this question from an observational point-of-view for two different time scales and speculate on the importance of transients from these two different perspectives. Our analysis period covers September 1981 - April 1982 which includes the development phase of the 1982-83 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as well as six Madden-Julian (30-60 day) Oscillations (MJO). The latter include a strong event during december 1981 that is studied in detail. The self-similarity of these two time scales (Webster, 1989) is also highlighted. (Résumé d'auteur)
