Assessment of the global budget of nitrous oxide (N2O), a major greenhouse gas, is limited by poor knowledge of the oceanic N2O flux to the atmosphere, whose magnitude, variability, and […]
When Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in July 20, 1969, some of oceanographers imagined global view of oceans from a satellite in a day. Since then, over 6000 satellites […]
The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) are primary sources of global and regional climate variability. Further understanding of possible connections […]
Atlantic multidecadal variability (AMV) of sea surface temperature (SST) is a key source of climate variability in surrounding regions. Low frequency Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) variability is often invoked […]
Atmospheric noble gases enter aquatic systems by gas / water partitioning. Therefore, aquatic noble gas concentrations in waters reflect the physical conditions prevailing during gas exchange. Consequently, applications of dissolved […]
Earth’s orbit and axial tilt imprint a strong seasonal cycle on climatological data. Climate variability is typically viewed in terms of fluctuations in the seasonal cycle induced by higher frequency […]
Anthropogenically-forced changes in the ocean are underway and critical for the ocean’s role as a carbon sink and marine habitat. Detecting such changes will require quantification of not only the […]
Part 1) The connections between South and East Asian Summer Monsoons have been a topic of research since decades. Several studies by the Chinese and the Indian scientists have documented […]
Based on the analysis of the observed Indian summer monsoon rainfall (ISMR) for the period 1871-2000, a 60-year cycle appeared to be evident. However, the decreasing trend in the ISMR […]
