Anomalous Walker circulations associated with two flavors of the Indian Ocean Dipole
The Walker circulation is the key component of the atmospheric zonal circulation in the tropics. In this study, it is shown that anomalous Walker circulations associated with two types of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are remarkably different.

Spatial Variation in Primary Production in the Eastern Indian Ocean [PDF]
To examine the spatial pattern and controlling factors of the primary productivity (PP) of phytoplankton in the eastern Indian Ocean (EIO), deck-incubation carbon fixation (a 14C tracer technique) and the related hydrographic properties were measured at 15 locations during the pre-summer monsoon season (February–April 2017). There are knowledge gaps in

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Dynamics of 2015 positive Indian Ocean Dipole [PDF]
Evolution of typical positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) event was dominated by a significant sea-surface temperature (SST) cooling in the south-eastern tropical Indian Ocean.

Long-term change in the timing of coastal upwelling due to climate variations alters the heat budget and biogeochemical balance in the regional ocean and is an important issue in local fisheries.

Revised tectonic evolution of the Eastern Indian Ocean [PDF]
Published plate tectonic models for the Australian‐Antarctic plate pair imply geologically improbable scenarios at either or both ends of the Cretaceous rift and spreading system. Controversy also exists around the location of and motion at the plate boundary extending west of Australia‐Antarctica, through the Kerguelen Plateau region.

Oceanic Radiocarbon and Tritium On A Transect Between Australia and Bali (Eastern Indian Ocean) [PDF]
Results are presented of radiocarbon and tritium measurements along a transect between the Australian continental shelf and the Indonesian coast of Bali. The stations lie in the easternmost part of the Indian Ocean, close to the sills over which the Indonesian throughflow (ITF) makes its way to the Indian Ocean.

Mixed layer temperature balance in the eastern Indian Ocean during the 2006 Indian Ocean dipole [PDF]
An anomalous climate mode, the positive Indian Ocean dipole (IOD), occurred in 2006 with the anomalous sea surface temperature (SST) distribution in the tropical Indian Ocean. Using various types of observational data, we investigated the temperature variation in the surface mixed layer in the eastern Indian Ocean to clarify the processes that produced

The interannual-decadal variability in the upper-ocean salinity of the southeast Indian Ocean (SEIO) was found to be highly correlated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
