Pantropical climate interactions
Release date: 2019-12-30
Ocean-atmosphere interac-tions in the tropics have a profound influenceon the climate system. El Niño–Southern Oscilla-tion (ENSO), which is spawned in the tropicalPacific, is the most prominent and well-knownyear-to-year variation on Earth. Its reach isglobal, and its impacts on society and theenvironment are legion. Because ENSO is sostrong, it can excite ...

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) is the most promi-nent form of decadal variability over the North Pacific, char-acterized by its horseshoe-shaped sea surface temperature anomaly pattern1, 2. The PDO exerts a substantial influence on marine ecosystems, fisheries and agriculture1–3. Through modulating global mean...
Microplate tectonics new insights from micro-blocks in the global oceans...
Release date: 2019-05-17
Plate has a growth process from small to large. The micro-blocks or micro-plates are sometimes the pre-cursors of large plates. The origin, growth, aborting, extinction and residual process of micro-blocks are of greatsignificance for the study of plate tectonics and pre-plate tectonics. The micro-block can be divided into con-tinental, oceanic and mantle mi...
