Establishing a weight-length baseline for evaluating changes in yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacores) body condition in the Western Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2013
Standard weight (Ws) equations were established for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Western Indian Ocean and used as a baseline for calculating relative weight (Wr) indices.

The physical and synoptic‐dynamical differences between warm days, hot days, and heatwaves during summer in Victoria, Australia

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
During the day, there is composite mean cold advection in the boundary layer on warm days (WDs), hot days (HDs) and heatwaves (HWs). There is weaker surface‐sensible heating on HDs and HWs. A nocturnal jet advects warm air on HDs and HWs. There is a strong and slow‐moving upper‐level anticyclone on HWs.

Evolution of sea fog based on meteorological and oceanographic observations during FATIMA Yellow Sea campaign

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents a conceptual framework linking sea‐water temperature Tw gradients to the formation and persistence of sea fog in the southeastern Yellow Sea. Over cold waters maintained by tidal mixing, downward latent heat flux enhances lower‐level stability and sustains persistent sea fog, whereas over warmer waters, upward fluxes and thermal ...

New radiocarbon dates from the Bapot-1 site in Saipan and Neolithic dispersal by stratified diffusion [PDF]

, 2010
The colonisation of the Mariana Islands in Western Micronesia is likely to represent an early ocean dispersal of more than 2000 km. Establishing the date of human arrival in the archipelago is important for modelling Neolithic expansion in Island ...

Subseasonal forecasts of the MJO and convectively coupled equatorial waves in ACCESS‐S2 and GraphCast: A multi‐year analysis

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 ...

Multiscale controls on diurnal convection in the Maritime Continent: Insights from high‐resolution observations in Timika

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Across the Maritime Continent, diurnal rainfall variability is governed by interactions between regional‐scale atmospheric drivers and local land–sea breeze circulations. Afternoon convection is initiated over land by surface heating and propagates offshore, whereas morning rainfall develops over adjacent seas and moves inland under low‐level northerly

Analysis and comparison of water vapor transport features and circulation anomalies during the super-strong Meiyu period of 2020 and 1998*

Weather and Climate Extremes
2020 and 1998 are the strongest Meiyu years in recent decades. The characteristics of the super-strong Meiyu precipitation and water vapor sources in 2020 and 1998 were compared, and the atmospheric circulation anomalies and the forcing factor SST were ...

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.

Trace element distributions in ridge flank sediments from the east Pacific Rise, and their use as proxies of past ocean conditions

, 2008
The eastern equatorial and tropical Pacific regions are areas of significant carbon fluxes from theatmosphere to the ocean interior. Changes in the function of marine biogeochemical cycles in thisregion potentially exert an important control on global ...
