Westward‐Propagating Moisture Mode Over the Tropical Western Hemisphere

Update on neglected Tropical Diseases of the Western Hemisphere

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) are responsible for millions of deaths and disabilities yearly, around the globe. The largest burden of these diseases falls on communities with poor access to basic sanitation, healthcare facilities, and educational programs. This review focuses on advances in vaccination, treatment and control programs over the past decade for the major NTDs of the Western H...

A Further Study of the Tropical Western Hemisphere Warm Pool

Variability of the tropical Western Hemisphere warm pool (WHWP) of water warmer than 28.58C, which extends seasonally over parts of the eastern North Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean, and the western tropical North Atlantic (TNA), was previously studied by Wang and Enfield using the da Silva data from 1945–93. Using additional datasets of the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis field and the NCEP SS...

Bio-indicators in the tropical forest of Western Ghats environment

Background: Investigation on the natural radionuclides 238U, 232Th, 40K and natural fallout radionuclide 210Po in the prominent plants species of Western Ghats tropical forest near Kotagiri have been carried out as a part of baseline background radiation studies in the forest environment. Materials and Methods: The prominent plants species of the region Evodia roxburghiana and Eleaoca...

The Equivalent Barotropic Structure of Waves in the Tropical Atmosphere in the Western Hemisphere

Tropical waves are generally considered to have a baroclinic structure. However, analysis of ERA-Interim and NOAAOLR data for the period 1979–2010 shows that in the equatorial and NorthernHemisphere nearequatorial regions in the tropical Western Hemisphere (WH), westwardand eastward-moving transients, with zonal wavenumbers 2–10 and periods of 2–30 days, have little tilt in the vertical and can...
