Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope results from ODP Leg 187: Evidence for mantle dynamics of the Australian-Antarctic Discordance and origin of the Indian MORB source [PDF]

, 2002
New high precision PIMMS Hf and Pb isotope data for 14–28 Ma basalts recovered during ODP Leg 187 are compared with zero-age dredge samples from the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD).

Suitability of slightly saline irrigation for alleviating drought stress in taro and yam in Tonga: Implications for climate‐resilient Pacific cropping systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
There is an increasing risk of drought and salinisation of soil and groundwater globally, including in Pacific Island countries such as Tonga. Irrigating crops with slightly saline water, such as that produced by emerging desalination technologies, could help to alleviate droughts.

Genomic architecture and breeding trade‐offs of coconut drought tolerance

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The coconut palm is an extremely popular and economically important crop, with around 65 million tonnes produced in 2023. Although Africa's coconut sector is growing rapidly, it—and the livelihoods that depend on it—is threatened by climate change, particularly increased drought.

Relationship between the October–December rainfall in Tanzania and the Walker circulation cell over the Indian Ocean

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2019
Like most of the countries in the Great Horn of Africa, Tanzania is prone to floods and droughts. Anomalously wet years over the region are associated with low-level convergence, the advection of moisture from both the Indian Ocean and the Congo and an ...

Annual amphidromes: a common feature in the ocean? [PDF]

, 2005
The scientific term "amphidrome" is usually associated with tides in oceanography. The dozen tidal amphidromes observed in the ocean are critical points that determine the fundamental pattern of the global tidal system.

Recurving tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific are stronger than non‐recurving ones: Causes and implications

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the statistical characteristics of recurving tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP). We find that recurving TCs are, on average, 38% stronger than non‐recurving TCs, owing to longer ocean exposure, fewer landfalls, and passage through warmer, more favorable thermal environments.

The warm pool in the Indian Ocean

, 1991
The structure of the warm pool (region with temperature greater than 28°C) in the equatorial Indian Ocean is examined and compared with its counterpart in the Pacific Ocean using the climatology of Levitus.

Dynamics and thermodynamics of the fast and slow Madden–Julian Oscillation

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The results of this study highlight the MJO as a complex phenomenon, the behavior of which is driven by an interplay of thermodynamic and dynamic processes. The MJO's distinct speeds are controlled by different mechanisms: slow MJOs propagate eastward primarily via horizontal moisture advection, fast MJOs by vertical moisture advection.

Influence of the Sea Surface Temperature in the Indian Ocean on the In-Phase Transition between the South Asian and North Australian Summer Monsoons

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
In this study we investigate the physical processes underlying maintenance of an in-phase transition between the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) and the succeeding North Australian summer monsoon (NASM).
