The ramifications of gust-front on atmospheric surface layer turbulence is a vexing issue, with nearly no information available over the Indian region where such events are not uncommon. Over peninsula, our recent field-experimental study has shown that cold pool associated creates two distinct regimes in ASL turbulence, temperature fluctuations display contrasting behavior. In this work, we us...

The Antarctic Peninsula is considered to be the last region of Antarctica to have been fully glaciated as a result of Cenozoic climatic cooling. As such, it was likely the last refugium for plants and animals that had inhabited the continent since it separated from the Gondwana supercontinent. Drill cores and seismic data acquired during two cruises (SHALDRIL I and II) in the northernmost Penin...

Background: The Pacific coastline along the southern Izu Peninsula, Japan, is strongly influenced by warm tropical waters of the Kuroshio Current. A new easternmost record of the near-threatened sesarmid crab Clistocoeloma villosum is reported from the southern part of Izu Peninsula. Methods: The present study was conducted in August 2014 and February 2015, on tidal flats in the mouth of the Ao...

Nicaragua’s Cosigüina Peninsula, located at the northwestern tip of the country, is one of the most poorly studied biotic regions in Central America. The peninsula has been occupied for millennia because the climate of the region supported human habitation and because of its strategic position along the rich Pacific coast. The combination of long-term occupancy by humans and the cataclysmic eru...

The possible zones of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and seawater intrusion (SWI) along the west coast Kanyakumari in southernmost Indian Peninsula were identified by integrating surface temperature anomaly, water table fluctuation, quality analysis. Temperature map sea from Landsat 8 satellite data, which helped to demarcate SGD areas with significant thermal contrast, exists between di...

dyke swarms emplacement constitutes one of the conspicuous features of the neoproterozoic arabian-nubian shield (ans) (~950-540ma). based on field investigations, petrographic and geochemical characteristics the dyke swarms in nw sinai (egypt) comprise of mafic (dolerite-trachy-basalt-basalt), intermediate (basaltic-andesite trachy-andesite) and felsic (rhyodacite-rhyolite) varieties. geochemic...

The Antarctic Peninsula has warmed significantly since the 1950s. This pronounced and isolated warming trend is collectively simulated by 29 twentiethcentury climate hindcasts participating in the version 3 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. To understand the factors driving warming trends in the hindcasts, we examine trends in Peninsula region’s atmospheric heat budget in every simulation....
