My objectives for this ONR project were first to develop an ocean model that can accurately simulate Arabian-Sea mixed-layer variability at diurnal through annual time scales, and then to diagnose the processes that account for this variability in its solutions. I particularly wished to be able to simulate and understand the mixed-layer-thickness record determined from the WHOI mooring data at ...

On average 1–2 tropical cyclones form over the Arabian Sea each year, and few of these storms are intense enough to be classified as very severe or super cyclonic storms. As such, few studies have explicitly identified the seasonal to interannual changes in environmental conditions that are associated with Arabian Sea tropical cyclogenesis. However, over the last 30 yr several intense Arabian s...

The Ras al Hadd oceanic dipole is a recurrent association of cyclone (to the northeast) and an anticyclone southwest), which forms in summer breaks up at end autumn. It lies near cape, southeast Arabian peninsula. Its size on order 100 km. Along axis this flows intense jet, Had jet. Using altimetric data eddy detection tracking algorithm (AMEDA: Angular Momentum Eddy Detection Algorithm), we de...

The Arabian Peninsula is a key region for understanding climate change and human occupation history in a marginal environment. The Mundafan palaeolake is situated in southern Saudi Arabia, in the Rub' al-Khali (the 'Empty Quarter'), the world's largest sand desert. Here we report the first discoveries of Middle Palaeolithic and Neolithic archaeological sites in association with the palaeolake. ...

Five bee-fly species (Bombyliidae, Diptera) have been listed in this paper as new to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Four of the recorded species have been identified to the level of species, namely: Bombomyiadiscoidea (Fabricius, 1794), Spogostylumcandidum (Sack, 1909), Exoprosopalinearis Bezzi, 1924, and Exoprosopaminos (Meigen, 1804), while the fifth one only to genus, Desmatoneura sp. The spec...
