Spatiotemporal Pattern Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of World Botanical Gardens Over Five Centuries

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a comprehensive review of the 500‐year spatiotemporal evolution of global botanical gardens, identifying three major development stages—initial exploration (1543–1699), steady expansion (1700–1899), and rapid proliferation (1900–2020)—with six distinct sub‐stages. We propose a tripartite driving framework grounded in colonial botany

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Influence of Climatic Oscillations on Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclone Energy

, 2023
Tropical Cyclones form in 4 independent regions of the Indian Ocean Basin ranging from the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, Western South Indian, and Eastern South Indian Ocean. These cyclones lead to distinct patterns in their Accumulated Cyclone Energy for

High numbers of Trichodesmium and diazotrophic diatoms in the southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2009
We observed high cell numbers of large (>50?m) nitrogen-fixing phytoplankton to the south and to the east of Madagascar in February 2005. The distribution of the diazotrophic taxa we found was markedly different: Trichodesmium was most abundant (500 ...

Climatology of Tropical Cyclones Approaching Tanzania and Their Impacts on Rainfall in East Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones (TCs) that approach Tanzania bring heavy rainfall over northern Mozambique, Tanzania, and south‐central Kenya, but the occurrence of these TCs reduces precipitation over southern African countries. Easterly steering winds and the Mascarene High are key features directing TCs westward.

Dynamics of 2015 positive Indian Ocean Dipole [PDF]

Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2019
Evolution of typical positive Indian Ocean Dipole (pIOD) event was dominated by a significant sea-surface temperature (SST) cooling in the south-eastern tropical Indian Ocean.

Annual and Seasonal Rainfall Variability in Mozambique During the Nineteenth Century

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This paper presents the first annually and seasonally resolved reconstructions of nineteenth‐century rainfall variability for Mozambique derived from the analysis of extensive documentary evidence. It reveals spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns with recurrent multi‐year droughts, episodic extreme wet events, and a strong coherence between ...

Compound Meteorological and Hydrological Hot‐Dry and Hot‐Wet Extremes Over Global Land Areas: Spatiotemporal Changes, Attribution, and Drivers

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The changes in joint return period of compound meteorological hot‐dry (CMHHE) and hot‐wet (CMHWE) and compound hydrological hot‐dry (CHHDE) and hot‐wet (CHHWE) extremes were attributed to changes in associated univariate extremes and their dependence.

Roles of the Indo-Pacific subsurface Kelvin waves and volume transport in prolonging the triple-dip 2020–2023 La Niña

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The rare triple-dip 2020–2023 La Niña event has resulted in a series of extreme climate events across the globe. Here, we reveal the role of tropical Indo-Pacific oceanic interactions in driving the first triple-dip La Niña of the twenty-first century ...
