Ocean control of the breeding regime of the sooty tern in the southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2007 Food availability, which is often seasonal, is regarded as a key factor in the breeding success of seabirds. In oceanic tropical areas, the resources are mostly patchy and ephemeral at the surface, and the seasonality is less marked than at higher ...

Shift in tuna catches due to ocean warming. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Ocean warming is already affecting global fisheries with an increasing dominance of catches of warmer water species at higher latitudes and lower catches of tropical and subtropical species in the tropics. Tuna distributions are highly conditioned by sea

Effects of annual changes in primary productivity and ocean indices on the breeding performance of tropical roseate terns in the western Indian Ocean [PDF]
, 2007 We assessed the influence of inter-annual changes in primary productivity and local, regional and large scale ocean indices on the breeding parameters of roseate terns S. dougallii on Aride Island, Seychelles, western Indian Ocean.

Anomalous Walker circulations associated with two flavors of the Indian Ocean Dipole
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 The Walker circulation is the key component of the atmospheric zonal circulation in the tropics. In this study, it is shown that anomalous Walker circulations associated with two types of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are remarkably different.

Prediction of the Central Indian Ocean Mode in S2S Models
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Prediction of precipitation during the Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is a persistent scientific challenge. The central Indian Ocean (CIO) mode was proposed as a subseasonal climate mode over the tropical Indian Ocean, and it has a close relation with ...
