An Overview of Tsunami Hazards in the Southwest Pacific Ocean

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 2, June 2026.
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 ...

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
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

open access: yes, 1989
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.

Missing Summer Westerly Jet Barotropic Governor Effect Explains Climate Models—Observation Discrepancies in the Indian Monsoon Trends

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
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%.

Modelling the spring ozone maximum and the interhemispheric asymmetry in the remote marine boundary layer 1. Comparison with surface and ozonesonde measurements

open access: yes, 2008
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

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
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.

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 282-293, June 2026.
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

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
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.

Role of North Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures in Linking Summer Beaufort Sea Ice to Preceding‐Winter ENSO

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
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 ...
