Relationship between fish size and otolith length for 63 species of fishes from the Eastern North Pacific Ocean [PDF]

, 2000
Otoliths commonly are used to determine the taxon, age, and size of fishes. This information is useful for population management, predator-prey studies, and archaeological research.

Heatwave Characteristics and Trends Across Eight Japanese Cities

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heatwaves occur with high likelihood across Japan. Strong north–south contrasts exist in heatwave characteristics. Southern locations experience more frequent, longer, and more intense heatwaves. Since 1955 there has been an increase in heatwave frequency, duration, and cumulative heat, particularly for nocturnal heatwaves. ABSTRACT This study provides

Unraveling the interactions between tropical Indo-Pacific climate modes using a simple model framework

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The dominant interannual climate phenomena are mainly observed in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean. While climate modes such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), and Indian Ocean Basin (IOB) can develop through intrinsic ...

Alaskan Ridge Blocking and Associated Winter Cold Conditions Over North America

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Multi‐decadal (1979–2023) analysis reveals that wintertime reductions in the meridional gradient of potential vorticity (PVy) over the Bering Sea are recurrent but episodic features of North Pacific circulation. These suppressed PVy states consistently co‐occur with amplified Alaskan ridging, weakened mid‐tropospheric westerlies and a downstream warm ...

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Changes in Atmospheric Convection Over the Indo‐Pacific Warm Pool and Coupled IOD and ENSO Patterns During the Last Glacial Maximum

Geophysical Research Letters
This study investigates how the convection over the Indo‐Pacific Warm Pool responds to the Last Glacial Maximum conditions. Paleoproductivity records that can indicate seasonal wind dynamics are combined with modeling data.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

Heterogenity of the Spawning Populations of Surf Smelt in the State of Washington [PDF]

, 1985
Biometric comparisons of three spawning populations of surf smelt, one from Pacific Coast and two from Puget Sound, were made. The Puget Sound populations (Hood Canal and Utsaladdy) were more similar to each other compared to the ocean populations.

Spatiotemporal Evolution of Hydroclimatic Variables in the Brazilian Semi‐Arid Region Through the Aridity Index and Susceptibility to Desertification

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Researchers explore Arctic freshwater\u27s role in ocean circulation [PDF]

, 2000
A critical, but insufficiently understood, component of global change is the influence of Arctic freshwater input on water mass exchange between the Arctic Ocean and Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
