The Unexpected Oceanic Peak in Energy Input to the Atmosphere and Its Consequences for Monsoon Rainfall by Nandini Ramesh, William R. Boos

“…Here, we show that during boreal summer, the global maximum net energy input (NEI) to the atmosphere unexpectedly lies over the Indian Ocean, not over land. Observed radiative fluxes suggest that cloud‐radiative effects (CRE) almost double the NEI over ocean, shifting the NEI peak from land to ocean. …”

Strategies of China and India in the Indo-Pacific region by E. S. Karsanova

“…Special attention has been paid to the policies of China, whose geopolitical interest revolves around three maritime zones such as the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. China has been generally successful in achieving its regional objectives, but it is precisely because of this that it faces growing challenges for itself since defensive security measures are interpreted by regional states as offensive, which in practice converts into a rather fragile “balance of threats.” …”

Impact of Madden-Julian Oscillation on the Diurnal Rainfall Cycle in Peninsular Malaysia by Ayoub Afiqah Bahirah, Liew Juneng, Tangang Fredolin, Jamaluddin Ahmad Fairudz

“…The remote impacts of MJO on PM resulted in changes to the diurnal rainfall patterns during the early MJO phases when the primary MJO convection centre remains over the Indian Ocean. These conditions created a conducive environment for local convection over PM due to the weakening of the southwest monsoon winds. …”

Assessing Prone Areas to Heavy Rainfall and the Impaction of the Upper Warm Temperature Anomaly during March–May Rainfall Season in Tanzania by Kantamla Biseke Mafuru, Tan Guirong

“…Years with anomalous HREs are associated with low-level westerly convergence, advection of moisture from both the Indian Ocean and Congo basin, an upper warm temperature anomaly (UWTA), intensified and well-positioned Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and pronounced rising motion since the ascending limb of the Walker type of circulation is centered over Tanzania. …”

Volcanically forced Madden–Julian oscillation triggers the immediate onset of El Niño by Hyemi Kim, Seung-Ki Min, Daehyun Kim, Daniele Visioni

“…Because the land areas surrounding the Indo-Pacific warm pool dry more quickly after a volcanic eruption, the background moisture distribution becomes more favorable for the MJO to propagate eastward from the Indian Ocean into the Pacific. This increases the likelihood of ensemble members having stronger MJO activity in the western Pacific by about 35% compared to non-volcanic years, which subsequently increases the frequency of westerly wind bursts by about 76%, ultimately enhancing the probability of the onset of an El Niño by about 98% following major volcanic eruptions.…”
