Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Here, we report the first observation of an albino Short-Tailed Fruit Bats Carollia perspicillata from Colombia. Carollia perspicillata is distributed from Colombia eastward across northern South America, including Trinidad and Tobago, and southward into Bolivia, Paraguay, southern Brazil, and northern Argentina. The species also is known from the I...

Abstract Two existing moisture mode theories of the MJO, one emphasizing boundary layer asymmetry (MA) and other column-integrated moist static energy (MSE) tendency (TA), were validated with diagnosis observational data during 1979–2012. A total 2343 MJO days are selected. While all these show a clear phase leading moisture, 20% do not positive MSE in front convection (non-TA). further budget ...

The impact of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is studied, based on reanalysis data and output from an ensemble general circulation model (GCM) experiment. Observed monthly sea surface temperature variations over the period of 1950–99 are imposed in the deep tropical eastern/central Pacific in the course of the SST experiment. Both GCM, and reanalys...

REPRESENTATIVE FANNING ISLAND INSHORE FISHES were collected by means of rotenone poisoning in January 1970. The collections were made with the objective of elucidating the zoogeographic relationships of the Line Islands fish fauna. The results are presented here. Zoogeographically, the Central Pacific forms an eastward extension of the great Indo-West Pacific faunal region centered today in the...

[1] An analysis of daily-to-interannual variability in the surface pressure field of the Martian nothern hemisphere as given by a Martian climate model is presented. In an empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition, the dominant first two modes of variability comprise a zonal wavenumber 1 feature centered at 70 N latitude moving eastward with a period of 6 to 8 sols. This feature is a ba...

The east-west striped pattern of clouds in Jupiter's weather layer is accompanied by a zonal flow containing 12 eastward-going jet streams alternating in latitude with westward-going jet streams. Based on theory, simulation and observations of the Earth's oceans and atmosphere, it is conjectured that Jupiter's weather layer is made of bands of constant potential vorticity (PV), where the interf...

Some PBIs extend equatorward from the polar cap boundary, where they can be roughly divided into north–south-aligned and east–west-aligned structures. In this paper, we present two flow burst events observed by the new Poker Flat Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) in the pre-midnight auroral zone on 28 April 2007, one towards the west and the other towards the east. In both cases...

The WOCB Community Modeling Effon (CME) general circulation model of the No~ Atlantic was used to investigate the behavior, nature, and dynamics of 50-day oscillations seen in the mend1on~ co~nent. of velocity between 5° and I l"N, 35° and 55"W. Oscillations of the meridional component of velocity, with a penod of about 50 days, appear as the seasonal meander pattern of the Nonh Equatorial Coun...
