Life History Parameters of Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphins Sousa plumbea Off KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT For the effective conservation of coastal cetaceans, such as Indian Ocean humpback dolphin, Sousa plumbea, currently listed as “Endangered” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), information on its life history is urgently required.

Occurrence and Whistle Characteristics of Small Odontocetes in Two Coastal Regions of the Sea of Japan

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the occurrence and whistle characteristics of small odontocetes in Wakasa Bay and Aso Bay, located in the coastal waters of the Sea of Japan, where ecological data are limited. Passive acoustic monitoring using A‐tag and SoundTrap was conducted from 2022 to 2024, with detections on 8.8% and 12.4% of monitoring days at ...

Eastern North Atlantic Strandings Validate Genetic Patterns in Pygmy and Dwarf Sperm Whales (Kogiidae)

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Pygmy (Kogia breviceps) and dwarf (Kogia sima) sperm whales are among the least studied cetaceans due to their elusive behavior and low detectability at sea. Molecular approaches are therefore essential to clarify their taxonomy, population structure, and conservation status. We present new mitochondrial DNA data from stranded K. breviceps and

Statistical Characteristics of Environments of Precipitating Mesoscale Convective Systems During the Pre‐Summer Season Over South China

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are known to induce heavy rainfall and pose significant weather hazards in tropical and mid‐latitude regions. Understanding the environmental conditions of MCSs is essential for improving model simulations and operational precipitation forecasts.

Dynamic Versus Diabatic Controls on Atmospheric Variability in a Tropical Aquachannel

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Synoptic‐ to planetary‐scale atmospheric variability in the tropics is a potential source of predictability worldwide. However, current weather prediction models struggle to fully capture this variability. Here, we conduct tropical aquachannel simulations using the ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model with horizontal grid spacings of 13 and 5 km ...

Retrieving Hourly Aerosol Absorption From Space Using Physical Informed Deep Learning

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Retrieving aerosol absorption properties, such as single scattering albedo (SSA) and absorption aerosol optical depth (AAOD) from single‐view satellite observations remains a significant challenge. This study introduces the Physics‐Informed Neural Network for Aerosols (PINA) framework to retrieve hourly aerosol absorption properties from ...

Diagnosing Optimal Forcing of the Western North Pacific Anomalous Anticyclone in a Deep‐Learning Model

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Deep‐learning weather prediction models have demonstrated skill in simulating large‐scale climate modes, but their physical interpretability remains a critical challenge. Here, we apply a 360‐member Green's function‐like ensemble to the Pangu‐Weather model to diagnose the optimal forcing configuration of the tropical western North Pacific ...
