First record of the blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus (Carcharhiniformes: Carcharhinidae) from the Tropical Eastern Pacific

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The blacktip reef shark Carcharhinus melanopterus, is one of the most common Indo-Pacific reef sharks. On April 29, 2012, a juvenile male blacktip reef shark measuring 89 cm total length (TL), was incidentally caught during a research expedition in ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

open access: yesFood Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Intensified annual cycle of tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature regulates Pacific cooling

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Recent counterintuitive cooling in the eastern tropical Pacific, with prolonged impacts on global climate, has perplexed the climate community regarding its underlying causes.

Impact of Trans-Atlantic-Pacific Ocean Dipole–like pattern on summer precipitation variability over West Africa

open access: yesAtmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2018
Recent findings indicate that rainfall variability over West Africa is characterized by more positive anomalies in the last four decades. The authors demonstrate that the recent interannual rainfall variability is linked to an air–sea phenomenon that ...

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

On the Westward Shift and Strengthening of the Atmosphere‐To‐Ocean Bjerknes Feedback in the Tropical Pacific Since 2000

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The behavior of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has undergone significant changes since the year 2000. Meanwhile, a notable westward shift and strengthening in the atmosphere‐to‐ocean Bjerknes feedback were observed.

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Patterns of SSS Variability in the Eastern Tropical Pacific: Intraseasonal to Interannual Timescales from Seven Years of NASA Satellite Data [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2019
Sea surface salinity (SSS) observations from NASA’s satellite missions, Aquarius/SAC-D and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), are used to describe spatial patterns of the seasonal cycle, as well as intraseasonal and interannual variability, in the ...

The impact of tropical SST variability on the northern hemisphere circumglobal teleconnection pattern

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Tropical-extratropical teleconnection during boreal summer is characterized by a circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) pattern and is often considered as one of the major predictability sources of extratropical atmospheric circulation.

Links between Tropical Pacific SST and Cholera Incidence in Bangladesh: Role of the Eastern and Central Tropical Pacific

open access: yesJournal of Climate, 2008
AbstractRecent studies arising from both statistical analysis and dynamical disease models indicate that there is a link between incidence of cholera, a paradigmatic waterborne bacterial disease (WBD) endemic to Bangladesh, and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
