Modeling reef fish biomass, recovery potential, and management priorities in the Western Indian Ocean
<p>Fish biomass is a primary driver of coral reef ecosystem services and has high sensitivity to human disturbances, particularly fishing. Estimates of fish biomass, their spatial distribution, and recovery

Impacts of Indian and Atlantic oceans on ENSO in a comprehensive modeling framework
The impact of the Indian and Atlantic oceans variability on El Niño–Southern-Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon is investigated through sensitivity experiments with the SINTEX-F2 coupled model. For each experiment,

The importance of interacting climate modes on Australia’s contribution to global carbon cycle extremes
<p>The global carbon cycle is highly sensitive to climate-driven fluctuations of precipitation, especially in the Southern Hemisphere. This was clearly manifested by a 20% increase of the global terrestrial

Global warming reducing phytoplanktons in western Indian Ocean
PANAJI: Rapidly decreasing presence of marine phytoplankton, a micro-algae consumed by small fish and responsible for reducing carbon dioxide in sea water, in the western Indian Ocean due to global warming

Global mismatch between greenhouse gas emissions and the burden of climate change
<p>Countries export much of the harm created by their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because the Earth’s atmosphere intermixes globally. Yet, the extent to which this leads to inequity between GHG

A reduction in marine primary productivity driven by rapid warming over the tropical Indian Ocean
<p>Among the tropical oceans, the western Indian Ocean hosts one of the largest concentrations of marine phytoplankton blooms in summer. Interestingly, this is also the region with the largest warming

On the decreasing trend of the number of monsoon depressions in the Bay of Bengal
<p>This study unravels the physical link between the weakening of the monsoon circulation and the decreasing trend in the frequency of monsoon depressions over the Bay of Bengal. Based on the analysis

Modeling marine surface microplastic transport to assess optimal removal locations
<p>Marine plastic pollution is an ever-increasing problem that demands immediate mitigation and reduction plans. Here, a model based on satellite-tracked buoy observations and scaled to a large data set

South Asian monsoon: Tug of war on rainfall changes
Precipitation associated with the South Asian summer monsoon has decreased by approximately 7% since 1950, but the reasons for this are unclear. Now research suggests that changes in land-cover patterns
