Impact of geographic variations of the convective and dehydration center on stratospheric water vapor over the Asian monsoon region by K. Zhang, R. Fu, T. Wang, T. Wang, Y. Liu

“…Previous studies have suggested that the transport of water vapor to the Asian monsoon LS is controlled by dehydration temperatures and convection mainly over the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia. However, there is a clear geographic variation of convection associated with the seasonal and intra-seasonal variations of the Asian monsoon circulation, and the relative influence of such a geographic variation of convection vs. the variation of local dehydration temperatures on water vapor transport is still not clear. …”

Ecosystem Variability along the Estuarine Salinity Gradient: A Case Study of Hooghly River Estuary, West Bengal, India by Diwakar Prakash, Chandra Bhushan Tiwary, Ram Kumar

“…Hooghly River, a ~460 km long distributary of the Ganga River, passes through a highly industrialized Metropolis-Kolkata in West Bengal, India, and eventually empties into the Bay of Bengal at Gangasagar. To determine the patterns and drivers of planktonic community, spatiotemporal variations in water quality and micronutrient content and planktic prokaryotic and microeukaryotic abundance and diversity across the salinity gradient (0.1 to 24.6 PSU) in the Hooghly River estuary (HRE) were studied. …”

Effects of Low-Frequency Oscillation at Different Latitudes on Summer Precipitation in Flood and Drought Years in Southern China by Lu Liu, Liping Li, Guanhua Zhu

“…Additionally, the sources of wet-warm water vapor include the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, the western Pacific Ocean, and the sea area of northeastern Australia (the western Pacific Ocean and the northern sea area of Australia); and (<b>d</b>) The LF predictive signals of outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) appear on −11 days, while the signals of the 500 hPa height field are on −9 days. …”

Contrasted surface mass balances of debris-free glaciers observed between the southern and the inner parts of the Everest region (2007–15) by SONAM FUTI SHERPA, PATRICK WAGNON, FANNY BRUN, ETIENNE BERTHIER, CHRISTIAN VINCENT, YVES LEJEUNE, YVES ARNAUD, RIJAN BHAKTA KAYASTHA, ANNA SINISALO

“…An analysis of high-elevation meteorological variables reveals that these glaciers are sensitive to precipitation, and to occasional severe cyclonic storms originating from the Bay of Bengal. We observe a negative horizontal gradient of annual precipitation in south-to-north direction across the range (≤−21 mm km−1, i.e. −2% km−1). …”

The impact of persistent anomalous precipitation in Southwest China caused by low-frequency atmospheric disturbances in different latitudes and altitudes by Tian-Gui Xiao, Tian-Gui Xiao, Yao Huang, Yao Huang, Lin Han, Lin Han, Ya-yue Nong

Contrasting responses of the ocean’s oxygen minimum zones to artificial re-oxygenation by Houda Beghoura, Thomas Gorgues, Filippa Fransner, Pierre-Amaël Auger, Laurent Memery

“…Increased respiration could ultimately lead to an oxygen loss at and beyond injection sites as in the Tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean and particularly expand the Bay of Bengal OMZ. In contrast, the tropical OMZ shrinkage in the Atlantic Ocean is attributed to oxygen enrichment induced by advective transport into the OMZ, while the absence of denitrification in this area precludes any biochemical feedback effect on oxygen levels. …”
