Variation of Wyrtki Jets Influenced by Indo-Pacific Ocean–Atmosphere Interactions

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As important components of the equatorial current system in the Indian Ocean, Wyrtki jets (WJs) play a significant role in distributing heat and matter in the East and West Indian Oceans.

Causal Impact of ENSO on Future Ozone Concentrations and Transport in the Tropical Tropopause Layer

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Alterations in the tropopause are recognized as key signals of anthropogenic climate change and further understanding of the major drivers of future changes in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) is crucial. Nevertheless, the causal effects of the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on TTL remain elusive, particularly in a future warming ...

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local

Pan‐Regional Prolonged Droughts Linked to Consecutive La Niña Events

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract From 2020 to 2023, prolonged droughts affected Central‐West Asia, East Africa, and North America, causing widespread disruptions to regional hydroclimate and ecosystems. These droughts coincided with an unusually persistent cold state of the tropical Pacific associated with consecutive La Niña events.

Why is the amplitude of the Indian ocean dipole overly large in CMIP3 and CMIP5 climate models?

, 2013
[1] The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) affects weather and climate in many parts of the world, but a realistic simulation of the IOD in state-of-the-art climate models remains a challenge.

Weakening Indian Ocean carbon uptake in 2015: The role of amplified basin‐wide warming and reduced Indonesian throughflow

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
In 2015, the Indian Ocean exhibits an exceptionally weakened CO2 uptake, highlighting strong interannual variability of ocean carbon sink. By utilizing multiple ocean CO2 partial pressure (pCO2) data and a state‐of‐the‐art ocean biogeochemical model, we ...

Asymmetric Ocean‐Atmosphere Coupling Between Southeast Pacific and Southern Ocean Cooling Through Circulation and Sea‐Ice Changes

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Recent decades have seen persistent sea surface temperature (SST) cooling in the Southeast Pacific (SEP) and Southern Ocean (SO), contrasting with broad ocean warming expected under anthropogenic forcing. Using an interpretable machine‐learning attribution framework applied to multi‐source observations and reanalyses, we focus on monthly SST ...

How rare are the 2006-2008 positive Indian Ocean Dipole events? An IPCC AR4 climate model perspective

, 2009
[1] The occurrence of three consecutive positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) events through 2006–2008, along with the unusual pIOD-La Niña combination in 2007, calls for a statistical assessment into the rarity of such events.

Contributions of Indonesian Throughflow to eastern Indian Ocean surface variability during ENSO events

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2020
The contribution of ocean transport to the transition between the Indian Ocean Dipole mode (IOD) and the Indian Ocean Basin mode (IOB) during El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years is investigated using reanalysis products. Composite analysis suggests

Symposium investigates dynamics of the Indian Ocean Dipole [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2002
Observational and theoretical studies during the period of Tropical Ocean‐Global Atmosphere Program have deepened our understanding of the ocean‐atmosphere coupled phenomenon known as El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the tropical Pacific and its impact on global climate.
