Nature Communications, 2018 The Indian Ocean provides a unique environmental gradient to test underlying drivers of the elemental composition of particulate organic matter. Here the authors show that nutrient supply, over temperature and biodiversity changes, controls regional ...

The lichen flora of the Chagos Archipelago : including a comparison with other island and coastal tropical floras [PDF]
, 2000 The 1996 Chagos Expedition provided the first opportunity to study the archipelago’s lichen flora. Seventeen of the 55 islands were ecologically investigated, some in more detail than others, and lists and representative collections of lichens have been ...

Morphology of the tropopause layer and lower stratosphere above a tropical cyclone : a case study on cyclone Davina (1999) [PDF]
, 2007 During the APE-THESEO mission in the Indian Ocean the Myasishchev Design Bureau stratospheric research aircraft M55 Geophysica performed a flight over and within the inner core region of tropical cyclone Davina. Measurements of total water, water vapour,

Dynamics and thermodynamics of the fast and slow Madden–Julian Oscillation
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.The results of this study highlight the MJO as a complex phenomenon, the behavior of which is driven by an interplay of thermodynamic and dynamic processes. The MJO's distinct speeds are controlled by different mechanisms: slow MJOs propagate eastward primarily via horizontal moisture advection, fast MJOs by vertical moisture advection.

Using microwave imager observations to improve the ocean temperature in a coupled NWP system
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.A recent upgrade to the ECMWF IFS has implemented outer‐loop coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. This work uses this method to pass ocean skin temperature estimates derived from satellite‐borne microwave imagers to the ocean data assimilation system; the updated ocean state is then passed back to the atmospheric system.

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.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.ACCESS‐S2 performs better in predicting longer time‐scale and slower moving waves (MJO and equatorial Rossby waves), while GraphCast performs better in predicting shorter and faster moving waves (Kelvin and mixed Rossby–gravity waves). However, both models systematically underestimate precipitation amplitude across all wave types, especially over the ...

Synoptic and large‐scale drivers of extreme precipitation events in the Himalayas
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Months associated with maximum frequency of extreme precipitation events (EPEs). 6102 extreme precipitation days (i.e., exceeding 99th percentile for daily precipitation) occurred across the Karakoram, Western Himalayas (WH), Central Himalayas (CH) and Eastern Himalayas (EH) during 1979 to 2023.
