Abstract Based on observational data analyses and idealized modeling experiments, we investigated the distinctive impacts of central Pacific (CP-) El Niño eastern (EP-) Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) in austral spring (September to November). The tropical heat sources associated with EP-El co-occurred positive phase Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) excite two branches Rossby wave trains that pr...

W aking up to the sound of crashing waves, ocean views and sandy beaches remains, for many, the dream. However, according to a series of recent reports and studies on rising sea levels, sleepless nights could be in store for beachfront real-estate owners and residents of coastal cities the world over. Earlier this year, the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) r...

Two ages are attributed to each circular lunar sea, the age of formation of the circular basin, probably by impact, and the age of the filling of the basin by lava-like effusions.Each lunar-sea surface displays a range of geomorphic indices. This is interpreted as being due to the presence of effusions of different ages on the surface of each sea. The landing sites of Apollo 11 and 12 have geom...

The effective management of marine fisheries is an ongoing challenge at the intersection of biology, economics, and policy. One way in which fish stocks-and their habitats-can be protected is through the establishment of marine reserves, areas that are closed to fishing. Although the potential economic benefits of such reserves have been shown for single-owner fisheries, their implementation qu...

While global mean sea level rise (SLR) and acceleration (SLA) are indicators of climate change and are informative regarding the current state of the climate, assessments of regional and local SLR are essential for policy makers responding to, and preparing for, changes in sea level. In this work, three acceleration detection techniques are used to demonstrate the robust SLA in the China Seas. ...
