Spiritual ecologies in transition: Bonbibi and the reconfiguration of people–nature relations in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Local religious traditions serve as informal environmental institutions, characterized by socially embedded norms that guide behaviour without formal enforcement and influence human–environment interactions. This study investigates the role of Bonbibi worship as a system of moral regulation in the Bangladeshi Sundarbans and examines the ...

Understanding the tropical cyclone Gonu [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Tropical cyclones are non-frontal synoptic-scale warm-core low-pressure systems that originate over the tropical or subtropical oceans and contain organized deep convection and a well-defined cyclonic surface wind circulation. Tropical cyclones form over

A national crop wild relative checklist for Zimbabwe reveals edible crop wild relative diversity of regional and global importance

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Crop wild relatives (CWR) in Zimbabwe are reservoirs of beneficial agronomic traits, yet they remain under‐documented and poorly conserved. This study developed Zimbabwe's first national CWR checklist based on a conceptual framework combining floristic, ecological and ethnobotanical data, revealing over 2700 taxa, with nearly 1000 edible species ...

Deep waters a significant source of Black Carbon aerosols in the Arabian Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
In-situ observations of atmospheric Black Carbon (BC) aerosols over the northern Indian Ocean are sparse, especially during the Indian Summer Monsoon season due to harsh and challenging oceanic conditions associated with strong south-westerly winds and ...

An Exploratory Framework for Cyclone Identification and Tracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Analyzing depressions plays an important role in meteorology, especially in the study of cyclones. In particular, the study of the temporal evolution of cyclones requires a robust depression tracking framework.

Polar‐low track prediction using machine‐learning methods

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Machine‐learning models are developed to produce reliable and efficient forecasts of polar‐low (PL) trajectories 12 hours ahead. A temporal model (RLSTM) benefiting from the rolling‐forecast strategy, improves overall prediction accuracy and is suitable for quick experimentation, while a spatiotemporal model (PL‐UNet), incorporating both historical and

Near‐resonant excitation of the Adriatic barotropic modes: The seiche events of December 2019

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study examines severe flooding in the northern Adriatic Sea in December 2019, which existing forecasting systems failed to predict. Analysis of wind and sea‐level data, alongside reanalysis datasets and a high‐resolution hydrodynamic model, revealed a wind‐induced resonance mechanism.

Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...
