Physics of North Indian Ocean tropical cyclones
Scientific ReportsThis research paper focuses on the applicability of two well-known concepts, Convective Quasi Equilibrium (CQE) and Convective Instability of the Second Kind (CISK), in the genesis of tropical cyclones (TCs), over the North Indian Ocean (NIO). Using high-resolution regional reanalysis IMDAA data from NCMRWF, we study the applicability of CQE and CISK ...

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Delivery of halogenated very short-lived substances from the west Indian Ocean to the stratosphere during the Asian summer monsoon [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Halogenated very short-lived substances (VSLSs) are naturally produced in the ocean and emitted to the atmosphere. When transported to the stratosphere, these compounds can have a significant influence on the ozone layer and climate. During a research

Subseasonal Predictability of Weekly Rainfall and Rainy Season Onset Over East Africa
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study evaluates the subseasonal predictability of weekly rainfall and rainy season onset over East Africa using the ECMWF extended range forecast model. Results show strong skill in forecasting weekly rainfall up to 4 weeks ahead, with higher accuracy during the March–May ‘long rains’ season.

Taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia (Acanthaceae) in India
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.A taxonomic reappraisal of the mangrove genus Avicennia in India was undertaken through extensive field surveys and critical examination of herbarium specimens. Three taxa, Avicennia alba, Avicennia marina subsp. marina, and Avicennia officinalis, are described in detail. A synonymic list was compiled using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP)
