Influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on upper tropospheric humidity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Variations of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) and cold cloud in the tropics reveal coherent changes that propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. The coherence of UTH is high at periods of 30–90 days along the equator.

A Pacific Ocean Legacy Embracing Tradition: Protecting 4 Million Square Kilometers of Pacific Waters by 2016 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Ancient Polynesians used the sun, stars, and ocean swells to navigate the Pacific, the largest ocean on Earth with nearly half the world's marine waters. From west to east, they explored and settled a significant portion of the Pacific.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Competing impacts of tropical Pacific and Atlantic on Southern Ocean inter-decadal variability

open access: yesnpj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The observed Southern Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) has experienced prominent inter-decadal variability nearly in phase with the Inter-decadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), but less associated with the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability (AMV ...

Global warming hiatus contributed to the increased occurrence of intense tropical cyclones in the coastal regions along East Asia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
The recent global warming hiatus (GWH) was characterized by a La Niña–like cooling in the tropical Eastern Pacific accompanied with the Indian Ocean and the tropical Atlantic Ocean warming.

Two Hidden mtDNA-Clades of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the Pacific Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Recurring outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) severely damage healthy corals, especially in the Western Pacific Ocean. To obtain a better understanding of population genetics of COTS and historical colonization across the Pacific Ocean, complete
