Potential of Adding Constructed Wetland/Fishpond to Waste Stabilization Ponds to Improve Helminths Removal in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania by A.H. Outwater, A. Zachariah, A. Nyomora, F. Francis, J.H.Y. Katima

“…Numbers of helminth larvae and eggs showed evidence of seasonality, which is potentially useful knowledge for farmers in order to avoid helminth infection: almost all larvae were found at the end of the hot dry season. Monsoon rains followed and washed the helminth larvae and eggs away and none were found at the end of the season. …”

Changes in the role of Pacific decadal oscillation on East Asian winter surface temperature by Doo Young Lee, Sang-Wook Yeh, Hyein Jeong, Hyo-Seok Park

“…This study reveals that since the early 2000s, East Asia has experienced a strengthening of Aleutian low (AL) and Siberian high (SH) during negative PDO phases, leading to an intensified East Asian winter monsoon (EAWM). The increased pressure gradient between the SH and the AL, driven by warming in the western Pacific associated with the negative PDO phase, has significantly contributed to a shift toward cooling in East Asia (105°–150° E, 20°–50° N) since the early 2000s. …”

Assessment of Aerosol Radiative Impact over Oceanic Regions Adjacent to Indian Subcontinent Using Multisatellite Analysis by S. K. Satheesh, V. Vinoj, K. Krishnamoorthy

“…In general, ARF was higher over northern Bay of Bengal (NBoB) during winter and premonsoon period, whereas the ARF was higher over northern Arabian Sea (NAS) during the monsoon and postmonsoon period. The largest forcing observed over NAS during JJA is the consequence of large amounts of desert dust transported from the west Asian dust sources. …”
