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

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 11, September 2026.
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 ...

El Niño-Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole Modes: Their Effects on South American Rainfall during Austral Spring

Atmosphere, 2021
This paper examines the effects of the tropical Pacific Ocean (TPO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) modes in the interannual variations of austral spring rainfall over South America (SA). The TPO mode refers to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Subseasonal Predictability of Weekly Rainfall and Rainy Season Onset Over East Africa

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 11, September 2026.
This study evaluates the subseasonal predictability of weekly rainfall and rainy season onset over East Africa using the ECMWF extended range forecast model. Results show strong skill in forecasting weekly rainfall up to 4 weeks ahead, with higher accuracy during the March–May ‘long rains’ season.

A biological dipole variability in the Indian Ocean

Environmental Research Letters
The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is a prominent mode of climate variability in the tropical Indian Ocean (IO). It exerts a significant influence on biological activities in this region.

State of Climate Attribution Science in East Africa: A Systematic Review

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 17, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Climate attribution research shows climate change intensified +50% of analyzed extreme events in East Africa. Limited data and capacity leave heatwaves, cyclones, and impacts on Small Island Developing States underexamined. Less than 50% of studies involve regional researchers; hence, greater local participation is essential for equitable, locally ...

Climate Informed Dengue Prediction and Future Risk Under a Changing Monsoon Climate in Kerala, India

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Dengue fever has emerged as a major public health threat in India, with its burden projected to rise under climate change. This study investigates the influence of climate variability on dengue incidence in Kerala, a dengue hotspot in southern India, using 14 years of climate and dengue data (2006–2019).

Killer Whales (Orcinus orca) in the Indo‐Pacific: A Review of Their Distribution, Population Structure, and Ecology

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 3, September 2026.
This review synthesises knowledge on killer whales across the Indo‐Pacific through the integration of published studies and collaboration. It shows that variation in killer whale occurrence, diet, and fisheries interactions is shaped by environmental heterogeneity and uneven research effort and highlights knowledge gaps with implications for ...

Momentum Decoupling Drives Low‐Wind Events During Heatwaves in China: A Hybrid Explainable Machine Learning and Dynamical Modeling Approach

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Compound heatwave and low‐wind (HW‐LW) events increasingly threaten China's energy security. Analysis of 2000–2023 data reveals these compound extremes account for 18.5% of total heatwaves, with their annual frequencies nearly doubling in recent years.

Imprint of Indian Ocean Dipole on nitrous oxide dynamics

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
The northern Indian Ocean is a hotspot of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, with strong seasonal monsoons and interannual Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) variability. We examine the IOD influence on N2O seasonality using a regional ocean model covering 1981–2020,

Strengthening of the Indian Ocean Dipole With Increasing Seasonal Cycle in the Mid‐Holocene

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
This study presents modeling evidence that the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is enhanced in its frequency and amplitude under mid‐Holocene (8‐ka) conditions.
