The Interdecadal Change of Relationship Between Summer Water Vapor Content Over Tibetan Plateau and Spring Sea Surface Temperature in Indian Ocean

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020
The interannual relationship between the spring sea surface temperature over the western tropical Indian Ocean (WTIO SST) and summer water vapor content over Tibetan Plateau (TPWVC) enhances significantly after 1992/1993.

Colder Eastern Equatorial Pacific and Stronger Walker Circulation in the Early 21st Century: Separating the Forced Response to Global Warming From Natural Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Since the early 1990s the Pacific Walker circulation shows a multi‐decadal strengthening, which contradicts future model projections. Whether this trend, evident in many climate indices especially before the 2015 El Niño, reflects the coupled ocean ...

Estimating trends and magnitudes of bycatch in the tuna fisheries of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Fish and Fisheries, 2023
AbstractMinimising the unintended capture of fish, marine mammals, reptiles, seabirds and other marine organisms is an important component of responsible fisheries management and for stabilising declines and rebuilding populations of threatened species.

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.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Seasonal Evolution of Chlorophyll-a in the North Indian Ocean Associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole and Two Types of El Niño Events

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
To investigate the main modes of interannual variation of chlorophyll-a (Chla) with seasonal evolution and its variation cycle in the North Indian Ocean based on satellite-derived products during 1998–2016, a season-reliant empirical orthogonal function (

A case of budding speciation in the California Floristic Province and infraspecific divergence in Abronia villosa

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Budding speciation occurs when peripheral populations adapt to local ecological conditions and “bud” off from a widespread progenitor species. Traditionally regarded as rare because of its sympatric and parapatric nature, budding speciation is largely understudied.

Estimation of mean water vapour residence time during tropical cyclones using a Lagrangian approach

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2022
Tropical cyclone (TC)-related rainfall mostly depends on the atmospheric moisture uptake from local and remote sources. In this study, the mean water vapour residence time (MWVRT) was computed for precipitation related to TCs in each basin and on a ...

Winter body mass and over-ocean flocking as components of danger management by Pacific dunlins [PDF]

, 2010
Background We compared records of the body mass and roosting behavior of Pacific dunlins (Calidris alpina pacifica) wintering on the Fraser River estuary in southwest British Columbia between the 1970s and the 1990s. 'Over-ocean flocking' is a relatively
