Impacts of IOD and ENSO on the phytoplankton’s vertical variability in the Northern Indian Ocean by Qiwei Hu, Xiaoyan Chen, Xianqiang He, Yan Bai, Tingchen Jiang, Yu Huan, Zhanlin Liang

“…IOD-linked negative (positive) phytoplankton anomalies at 0–50 m (50–100 m) are driven by the westward propagating downwelling Rossby waves. During winter and spring, due to the local wind anomalies and shallower thermocline, the Seychelles–Chagos Thermocline Ridge (SCTR) is the only region where ENSO exhibits greater positive effects on phytoplankton at 50–100 m than IOD. …”

Les transformations d’un faubourg de Blois : les terrasses de l’Évêché (ve-xixe siècle) by Marie-Denise Dalayeun, Jérôme Bouillon, Françoise Yvernault

“…(silos and post holes) were first in the vicinity of the cemetery before gradually shifting westwards, probably in relation with the cemetery’s retraction towards the church and the progressive abandonment of the burial area.The survey of part of the urban enclosure ditch confirms its digging before the 14th century while regularly maintained by successive cleanings during the 14th and 15th centuries. …”

Direct Observations of North Pacific Subsurface Low Potential Vorticity Water Impinging on the Kuroshio by Ran Wang, Qiang Ren, Feng Nan, Fei Yu, Zifei Chen, Yansong Liu, Jianfeng Wang, Chuanzheng Zhang, Ruixiang Zhao, Hua Zheng, Xiaohua Zhu

“…Compared with large‐scale climatological mean circulation, mesoscale eddy can trap SLPVW as a highway westward transport. In addition, the SLPVW impingement results in a significant subsurface velocity variation (about 10 cm/s) in the 200–400 m layer. …”

Tectonometamorphic evolution of a subduction plate interface at the base of the Mirdita Ophiolite (Bajram Curri, northeastern Albania) by Madeline Richter, Kilian Pollok, Kujtim Onuzi, Kamil Ustaszewski

“…Corresponding microstructures indicate mineral growth at isotropic stresses, suggesting that deformation migrated into structurally lower, frontally accreted non-metamorphic units of the sub-ophiolitic mélange marking the start of obduction onto the passive Adriatic margin. Ongoing westward transport led to folding of the entire sub-ophiolitic succession. …”

Simultaneous Observation of Equatorial Plasma Bubbles and Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances Over Indonesia Following the 15 January 2022 Tonga Volcano Eruption by Asnawi Husin, Varuliantor Dear, Agri Faturahman, Sefria Anggarani, Annis Siradj Mardiani, Adi Purwono, Jiyo Harjosuwito, Rezy Pradipta

“…There was a directional split in the zonal drift velocity of these EPBs, where some EPBs drifted eastward with a velocity of 138.0 ± 6.9 m/s and others westward with a velocity of 39.6 ± 2.0 m/s. At the same time, traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) from the Tonga eruption also propagated over the Indonesian region with a velocity of 434.6 ± 21.7 m/s. …”

USSR in World War II by M. Yu. Myagkov

“…The non-aggression pact gave the USSR just under two years to rebuild the army and consolidate its defensive potential and pushed the Soviet borders hundreds of kilometers westward. The signing of the Pact was preceded by the failure in August 1939 of the negotiations between the military mis­sions of Britain, France and the USSR, although Moscow took the Anglo-French-Soviet nego­tiations with all seriousness.The huge losses of the USSR in the summer of 1941 are explained by the following circum­stances: before the war, a large-scale modernization of the Red Army was launched, a gradu­ate of a military school did not have sufficient experience in managing an entrusted unit by June 22, 1941; the Red Army was going to bleed the enemy in border battles, stop it with short counterattacks by covering units, carry out defensive operations, and then strike a de­cisive blow into the depths of the enemy's territory, so the importance of a multi-echeloned long-term defense in 1941 was underestimated by the command of the Red Army and it was not ready for it; significant groupings of the Western Special Military District were drawn into potential salients, which was used by the Germans at the initial stage of the war; Stalin's fear of provoking Hitler to start a war led to slowness in making the most urgent and necessary decisions to bring troops to combat readiness.The Allies delayed the opening of the second front for an unreasonably long time. …”
