Influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation on upper tropospheric humidity [PDF]

, 2002
Variations of upper tropospheric humidity (UTH) and cold cloud in the tropics reveal coherent changes that propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. The coherence of UTH is high at periods of 30–90 days along the equator.

Evidencing decadal and interdecadal hydroclimatic variability over the Central Andes

Environmental Research Letters, 2016
In this study we identified a significant low frequency variability (8 to 20 years) that characterizes the hydroclimatology over the Central Andes. Decadal–interdecadal variability is related to the central-western Pacific Ocean ( R ^2  = 0.50) and the ...

Interaction between Coastal and Oceanic Ecosystems of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean through Predator-Prey Relationship Studies

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Western and Central Pacific Ocean sustains the highest tuna production in the world. This province is also characterized by many islands and a complex bathymetry that induces specific current circulation patterns with the potential to create a high degree of interaction between coastal and oceanic ecosystems.

Alternative global Cretaceous paleogeography [PDF]

, 1999
Plate tectonic reconstructions for the Cretaceous have assumed that the major continental blocks—Eurasia, Greenland, North America, South America, Africa, India, Australia, and Antarctica—had separated from one another by the end of the Early ...

Potential nutrient limitation of phytoplankton growth in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Acta Ecologica Sinica, 2012
An increase in N2 fixation by diazotrophic organism due to increased stratification driven by climate changes,may decrease phosphate concentrations and result in P limitation in the oligotrophic upper ocean,which challenges the traditional view that nitrogen is generally the primary nutrient limiting phytoplankton productivity in oceanic waters.Which ...

Mercury concentrations in tuna blood and muscle mirror seawater methylmercury in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
Understanding the relationship between mercury in seafood and the distribution of oceanic methylmercury is key to understand human mercury exposure. Here, we determined mercury concentrations in muscle and blood of bigeye and yellowfin tunas from the Western and Central Pacific.

Interannual variability of the onset of the South China Sea summer monsoon [PDF]

, 2015
This article investigates the year-to-year variability of the onset of the South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM) and the possible influences exerted by the surface temperature anomalies over land and sea. Early and late monsoon onsets are related to the

Genetic diversity and population structure of the pelagic thresher shark (Alopias pelagicus) in the Pacific Ocean: evidence for two evolutionarily significant units. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
There has been an increasing concern about shark overexploitation in the last decade, especially for open ocean shark species, where there is a paucity of data about their life histories and population dynamics.
