Interannual variability of the frequency of MJO phases and its association with two types of ENSO

Scientific Reports, 2021
In this study, we reexamine the effect of two types of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modes on Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) activity in terms of the frequency of MJO phases.

Coherent amplification of the Okhotsk high, Korean trough, and northwestern Pacific subtropical high during heavy rainfall over Japan in August 2021

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2023
In August 2021, rain front stagnation in Japan resulted in prolonged and disastrous rainfall across the entire country. During the heavy rainfall period, the large-scale atmospheric field over the East Asian–western North Pacific region was characterized

Two Hidden mtDNA-Clades of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Recurring outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) severely damage healthy corals, especially in the Western Pacific Ocean. To obtain a better understanding of population genetics of COTS and historical colonization across the Pacific Ocean, complete

Distribution of nano-sized Cyanobacteria in the western and central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

Aquatic Microbial Ecology, 2010
We investigated the distribution of nano-sized unicellular Cyanobacteria (nanocyanobacteria) in the Pacific Ocean. Nanocyanobacteria were distributed in the mixed layer throughout the western and central regions of the North and South Pacific subtropical gyres, where nitrate depletion and high irradiance are maintained throughout the year.

Drivers and characteristics of the Indo-western Pacific Ocean capacitor

Frontiers in Climate, 2022
Coherently coupled ocean-atmosphere variability of the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans gives rise to the predictability of Asian summer climate. Recent advances in Indo-western Pacific Ocean capacitor (IPOC) theory and the relationship with El Niño-Southern

Sedimentary CaCO3 Accumulation in the Deep West Pacific Ocean

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Distribution of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in marine sediment has been studied over the last century, and influence by multiple factors with regard to dissolution and dilution of sedimentary CaCO3 has long been established.

Addressing Issues and Challenges in Managing Migratory Tuna Resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean [PDF]

International Journal of the Commons, 2021
Tuna resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean are the world’s largest and most valuable fisheries of their type and are vital to the economy and the sustainable development of the region. However, the region witnesses a rapid decline in tuna resources and the depletion of species such as bigeye and yellowfin tunas, and overharvesting of the ...

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 ...

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.

Export flux of particles at the equator in the western and central Pacific ocean

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 1997
Export of particles was studied at the equator during an El Nino wann event (October 1994) as part of the French ORSTOM/FLUPAC program. Particulate mass, carbon (organic and inorganic) (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) export fluxes were measured at the equator in the western and central Pacific during two 6-7 day-long time-series stations located ...
