Abstract This study uses linear regression and composite analyses to identify a pronounced asymmetric connection of sea surface temperature (SST) in the Tasman Sea with two opposite phases El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) during austral summer. In Niño years, SST anomalies (SSTAs) exhibit dipolar pattern weak warmth northwest modest cooling southeast, while La Niña years SSTAs basin-scale gr...

Using an extended 120-year record of El Niño events, we distinguish between central Pacific (CP) and eastern (EP) types to show that the strength CP events is a factor in amplitude sign impact on rainfall over southeastern Australia. Both weak strong cause widespread deficits Australia during onset phase from April September. However, this relationship reverses including Murray Darling Basin ri...

INTRODUCTION The objective of the present study was to review the distribution and incidence of branchial anomalies in an Asian paediatric population and highlight the challenges involved in the diagnosis of branchial anomalies. METHODS This was a retrospective chart review of all paediatric patients who underwent surgery for branchial anomalies in a tertiary paediatric hospital from August 2...

Abstract The Southern Ocean is a primary heat sink that buffers atmospheric warming and has warmed substantially, accounting for an outsized portion of global warming-induced excess in the climate system. However, its projected highly uncertain varies substantially across models. Here, using outputs from Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase six models, we show during twenty-first century...

The combination of the Mayer--Rokitansky--Küster (MRK) syndrome with renal anomalies is well known (incidence: 36%). The combination with skeletal anomalies is also known (incidence: 10%). However, the coincidence with ear anomalies is rare, and the coincidence with facial anomalies is extremely rare. The combination of the MRK syndrome with renal, skeletal, ear and facial anomalies is describe...

Gravity field recovery from satellite altimetry provides global marine coverage but lacks the accuracy and resolution needed for many exploration geophysics studies. The repeating ground tracks of the ERS-1/2, Geosat, and Topex/Poseidon altimeters offer the possibility of improving the accuracy and resolution of gravity anomalies along widely spaced (∼40-km spacing) tracks. However, complete oc...

Aims. We propose the Wind of Fast Rotating Massive Stars scenario to explain the origin of the abundance anomalies observed in globular clusters. Methods. We compute and present models of fast rotating stars with initial masses between 20 and 120 M⊙ for an initial metallicity Z=0.0005 ([Fe/H] ≃ −1.5). We discuss the nucleosynthesis in the H-burning core of these objects and present the chemical...
