Continuous remote-sensed daily fields of ocean color now span over two decades; however, it still remains a challenge to examine the ocean ecosystem processes, e.g., phenology, at temporal frequencies of less than a month. This is due to the presence of
Other locations mentioned in the text are marked by numbers: 1 East China Sea, 2 Sulu Sea, 3 South China Sea, 4 Island of Guam and 5 Makassar Strait. This map was created by using Ocean Data View software39. sediment core contained a high inventory of 241Am. The aims of this study,...
Within the Indian Ocean basin this warming signal is most prominent within the upper 400 m of the water column. This warming appears to be transmitted from the high latitude surface Southern Ocean to subsurface tropical latitudes with the Indian basin along SAMW isopycnals, on timescales of ∼...
Whichever part of the ocean is the warmest is where there is increased convection associated with the rising branch of the Walker circulation. Every 3–5 years on average, upwelling of cold waters is suppressed and El Niño conditions set in, while La Niña with a similar periodicity is ...
Marzin and Braconnot (2009) used a coupled ocean-atmosphere model to demonstrate that the second step in ISM enhancement at ∼9.5 kyr B.P. could result from a seasonality of insolation in the Northern Hemisphere due to the precession variations and changes in snow cover over the Tibetan ...

High-resolution Geography (https://www.soest.hawaii.edu/wessel/gshhg). (Map: Mikhail Yu. Gofarov). Full size image This study (1) presents a taxonomic review of freshwater mussels from the Indian Subcontinent based on the most comprehensive morphological and DNA sequence datasets sampled to ...
By contrast, the Walker circulation over the equatorial Indian Ocean may be influenced remotely by the movement of equatorial heat sources in the Pacific, such as those associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Considering the role of regional Hadley circulation and Walker ...
Keywords: East Asian summer monsoon; Indian ocean; decadal change; local forcing; remote forcing; transition of ENSO 1. Introduction The Asian summer monsoon includes three monsoon subsystems, namely the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM), western North Pacific summer monsoon (WNPSM) and the Indian...
