Water vapour transport associated with tropical-temperate trough systems over southern Africa and the southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2004 Tropical–temperate trough (TTT) systems are the dominant rain-producing synoptic type over southern Africa. They represent an important mechanism of poleward transport of energy and momentum.

GCM simulations of the Indian Ocean dipole influence on East African rainfall: present and future. [PDF]
, 2007 Six coupled GCMs are assessed in terms of their ability to simulate observed characteristics of East African rainfall, the Indian Ocean dipole and their temporal correlation. Model results are then used to analyze the future behaviour of rainfall and the

Precipitation event detection based on air temperature over the Equatorial Indian Ocean
, 2022 Air temperature (AT) and precipitation observations obtained from RAMA (Research Moored Array for African-Asian-Australian Monsoon Analysis and prediction) buoy at 0° N, 90° E from July 2009 to June 2017 are used to identify rainfall events. Based on the

A sea surface temperature reconstruction for the southern Indian Ocean trade wind belt from corals in Rodrigues Island (19° S, 63° E) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 The western Indian Ocean has been warming rapidly over recent decades, causing a greater number of extreme climatic events. It is therefore of paramount importance to improve our understanding of links between Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST ...

Change in Salinity of Indonesian Upper Water in the Southeastern Indian Ocean during Argo Period
Heliyon, 2022 The change in salinity of Indonesian Upper Water (IUW) in the Indian Ocean has been examined during 2004–2020 based on the Argo product. Monthly salinity fields reveal a contrast of IUW salinity changes between two time periods (2004–2013 and 2014–2020 ...

Propagation of Atlantic Ocean swells in the north Indian Ocean: a case study [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 An analysis of altimeter significant wave height data of May 2007 revealed the occurrence of an extreme weather event off southern tip of South Africa in the Atlantic Ocean, and generation of a series of very high swells at 40° S. These swells propagated

Phylogeography of hydrothermal vent stalked barnacles: a new species fills a gap in the Indian Ocean ‘dispersal corridor’ hypothesis [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Phylogeography of animals provides clues to processes governing their evolution and diversification. The Indian Ocean has been hypothesized as a ‘dispersal corridor’ connecting hydrothermal vent fauna of Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

Population structure of humpback whales from their breeding grounds in the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Although humpback whales are among the best-studied of the large whales, population boundaries in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) have remained largely untested.
