Narrative:

On normal approach to runway 1L mke in MD88 we broke out at 600- 700 ft AGL, saw aircraft on runway for takeoff. We were cleared to land 1 mi inside OM. We initiated a go around and contacted tower. We received no previous go around call from tower. Tower's response was 'yes, go around.' poor ATC tower monitoring of approach/takeoff sequences. Go around was uneventful.
