An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean
The southwest Pacific region is geologically complex and exhibits all the principal causes of tsunami generation. While contemporary events and historical catalogs indicate that trans‐Pacific tsunamis have affected this area (∼18% of tsunamis reported globally), it is unique in that a large part of the tsunami effects over the ∼200‐year historical ...

ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Tropical tuna surface fisheries in the Indian Ocean
Althought few data are available, Indian Ocean tuna resources are becoming the object of an increasingly active fishery. Between 1980 and 1985 catches grew from 275 000 t to almost 450 000 t, a 60% increase. Catches of tropical surface tuna species, mainly skipjack and yellowfin, nearly doubled during the same period, from 156 000 t to almost 300 000 t.

Abstract The South Asian summer monsoon has exhibited a pronounced Northwest India‐Indo‐Gangetic Plains rainfall dipole since 1999, with northwest India experiencing a 24.6% increase, while rainfall in the Indo‐Gangetic Plain has decreased by 4.4%.

Here we report a modelling study of the spring ozone maximum and its interhemispheric asymmetry in the remote marine boundary layer (MBL). The modelled results are examined at the surface and on a series of time-height cross sections at several locations

Mesoscale and Submesoscale Variability in the Indian Ocean
Abstract Material transport and air‐sea coupling dynamics associated with monsoon‐related mesoscale and submesoscale processes in the Indian Ocean significantly modulate biogeochemical cycles, the large‐scale energy balance, and both regional and global climate change.

Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Land‐Ocean Contrast in Low‐Cloud Adiabatic Fraction Modulated by Cloud Thickness and Droplet Size
Abstract Cloud adiabatic fraction (fad) is crucial for understanding cloud microphysics and entrainment mixing. This study presents the first global satellite‐based assessment of land‐ocean contrasts in fad for low‐level clouds. Results show that land clouds have a lower fad (0.22) than oceanic clouds (0.35), consistent across all seasons.

Abstract Interannual variability of the Beaufort Sea (BFS) ice notably affects the oceanic circulation, pelagic and sympagic ecosystems, and navigation activities. However, key physical pathways regulating interseasonal connections between the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and BFS ice concentration anomalies in early‐summer (May–July) remain ...
