Over the last century, northeast Pacific coastal sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and land-based surface air temperatures (SATs) display multidecadal variations associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, in addition to a warming trend of ∼ 0.5-1 °C. Using independent records of sea-level pressure (SLP), SST, and SAT, this study investigates northeast (NE) Pacific coupled atmosphere-ocean v...

We present a spatially resolved spectral analysis of full ASCA observations of the remnant of the supernova of 1006 AD. This remnant shows both nonthermal X-ray emission from bright limbs, generally interpreted as synchrotron emission from the loss-steepened tail of the nonthermal electron population also responsible for radio emission, and thermal emission from elsewhere in the remnant. In ear...

Microbes are considered to have a global distribution due to their high dispersal capabilities. However, our knowledge of the way geographically distant microbial communities assemble after dispersal in a new environment is limited. In this study, we examined whether communities would converge because similar taxa would be selected under the same environmental conditions, or would diverge becau...

Investigations of hooded seals Cystophora cristata have revealed high prevalences of Brucella-positive seals in the reduced Northeast Atlantic stock, compared to the increasing Northwest Atlantic stock. This study evaluated the relation between Brucella-serostatus in seals in the Northeast Atlantic stock and age, sex, body condition and reproduction. Bacteriology documented which animals and or...

In the context of global warming, relevant studies have shown that China will experience largest temperature rise in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and northwestern regions future. Based on MOD10A2 MYD10A2 snow products depth data, this study analyzes temporal spatial evolution characteristics cover fraction, depth, days three stable areas China, combines 15 modes CMIP6 data four different scenarios wit...

Based on analysis results structural maturity compositional maturity, makes a more detailed exploration environment source clastic materials period K1q. seismic drilling data, analyzed by using paleogeo-morphology reflection structure. rock s...

[1] A three-dimensional absolute velocity field on the isopycnal surface in the northwest Pacific subtropical region in the summer is calculated from the Navy’s Generalized Digital Environmental Model (GDEM) climatological temperature and salinity data on a 0.5 0.5 grid using the P-vector method. GDEM for the area was built from historical (1930–1997) temperature and salinity profiles. The basi...

In 2004, the urban presence of Lutzomyia longipalpis was recorded for the first time in Formosa province. In 2006, the first autochthonous case of human urban visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was recorded in Misiones in the presence of the vector, along with some canine VL cases. After this first case, the vector began to spread primarily in northeast Argentina. Between 2008-2011, three human VL cas...

White sharks are highly migratory apex predators, globally distributed in temperate, sub-tropical, and tropical waters. Knowledge of white shark biology and ecology has increased recently based on research at known aggregation sites in the Indian, Atlantic, and Northeast Pacific Oceans; however, few data are available for the Northwest Pacific Ocean. This study provides a meta-analysis of 240 o...

[1] In this study, evidence is presented from statistical analyses, numerical model experiments, and case studies to show that the impact on US winter temperatures is different for the different types of El Niño. While the conventional Eastern-Pacific El Niño affects winter temperatures primarily over the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Southwest US, the largest impact from Central-Pacific El Niño ...
