Four types of the Madden-Julian Oscillation

Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the main mode of intraseasonal atmospheric variability in the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans and the major source of subseasonal predictability of precipitation and extreme weather events in many parts of the globe. Although MJO is known as an eastward propagating equatorial atmospheric kelvin wave, not all MJO events are identical in terms of their strength...

New multivariate metrics help better monitor and predict global coral breaching events

Key factors that affect regional coral bleaching have been well studied and documented. These include extreme warm temperatures, the duration of extreme cold temperatures, and temperature bimodality (i.e., the exposure of corals to two distinct temperature regimes). However, some of these factors are more important than others in different regions because there are complex and interactive responses to...
