Phylogeography of the crown-of-thorns starfish in the Indian Ocean. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Understanding the limits and population dynamics of closely related sibling species in the marine realm is particularly relevant in organisms that require management. The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci, recently shown to be a species complex

Interdecadal modulation of Ningaloo Niño/Niña strength in the Southeast Indian Ocean by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Southeast Indian Ocean is a global hotspot for marine heatwaves. In that region, marine heatwaves/cold-spells are known as Ningaloo Niño/Niña events, and have substantial impacts on regional climate anomalies and unique marine ecosystems.

Progress in understanding of Indian Ocean circulation, variability, air–sea exchange, and impacts on biogeochemistry [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2021
Over the past decade, our understanding of the Indian Ocean has advanced through concerted efforts toward measuring the ocean circulation and air–sea exchanges, detecting changes in water masses, and linking physical processes to ecologically important ...

Atmospheric gas-phase composition over the Indian Ocean [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022
The Indian Ocean is coupled to atmospheric dynamics and chemical composition via several unique mechanisms, such as the seasonally varying monsoon circulation. During the winter monsoon season, high pollution levels are regularly observed over the entire

Effects of Climate Variability on Two Commercial Tuna Species Abundance in the Indian Ocean

Fishes, 2023
Oceanic temperature fluctuations are one of the leading factors affecting marine fish populations. Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), characterized as the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly change, is an ocean–atmosphere interactive process causing ...

The unique mean seasonal cycle in the Indian Ocean anchors its various air-sea coupled modes across the basin

Scientific Reports, 2021
The interannual variability of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the Indian Ocean is complex and characterized by various air-sea coupled modes, which occur around El Niño/La Niña's peak phase (i.e. December–January–February, DJF). Indian Ocean Dipole

Emerging Skill in Multi-Year Prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole

Frontiers in Climate, 2021
The Indian Ocean Dipole is a leading phenomenon of climate variability in the tropics, which affects the global climate. However, the best lead prediction skill for the Indian Ocean Dipole, until recently, has been limited to ~6 months before the ...

The tropical Indian Ocean matters for U. S. winter precipitation variability and predictability

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the key predictor for operational seasonal climate prediction in the United States (U. S.). Compared with the impact of the tropical Pacific associated with ENSO, the role of the Indian Ocean on U. S.

Genetic analyses reveal panmixia in Indian waters and population subdivision across Indian Ocean and Indo-Malay Archipelago for Decapterus russelli

Scientific Reports, 2023
The Indian Scad, Decapterus russelli is an important pelagic carangid widely distributed throughout the Indian Ocean and the Indo-West Pacific. Despite being widely distributed in the Indian Ocean, the information regarding genetic structuring and ...

Analysis of the 10–20-Day Intraseasonal Oscillation in the Indian Ocean Using Surface Winds

Remote Sensing, 2022
The 10–20-day mode of surface wind is examined in the Indian Ocean, with special reference to the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, equatorial, southern, and southeastern Indian Ocean during a strong (1994), weak (2002), and normal (1995) southwest monsoon ...
