The biological dipole mode index (BDMI) showed a negative biological Indian Ocean dipole (BIOD) event occurred in the Equatorial Indian Ocean with the corresponding BIOD index BDMI at - 0.31 in October 2022. The chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) ratio (or Chl-a anomaly) between Chl-a in October 2022 and October Chl-a climatology from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) showed negative dipolar features with the depressed and enhanced Chl-a in the east and west IOD zones, respectively. During this negative BIOD event, Chl-a ratio dropped to ~ 0.4-0.5 in the offshore region of the west Sumatra Coast in the east IOD zone, while it increased to ~ 1.5-1.6 in the northern west IOD zone. Temporal variations of the longitudinal averaged Chl-a ratio and the 20 °C isothermal (ISO20) depth anomaly generally coincided and collocated with each other. The positive and negative BIOD events in 2019 and 2022, respectively, were attributed to the nutrient dynamics driven by the physical dynamics in these two phases of IOD events. In the negative BIOD event in 2022, the depressed Chl-a in the east IOD zone was attributed to low sea surface nutrient levels due to dampened upwelling and deepened thermocline, while anomalously high Chl-a in the west IOD zone were driven by higher sea surface nutrient concentrations caused by the surface water divergence and shoaling thermocline.

Monsoon rainfall plays a crucial part in Africa's socio-economic structure and its year-to-year variability has profound implications for agricultural, energy, and other societal sectors. The current study focuses on two of the major climate drivers of the east African rainy season during October-November-December (OND), which is when the season starts for a large portion of east Africa (e.g.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of Internet of things (IoTs), various physical things (objects) in IoTs are smart enough to make their own decisions without the involvement of humans. The smart devices embedded in a drone can sense, collect, and transmit real-time data back to the controller from a designated environment via wireless communication technologies. The mobility, flexibility, reliability and energy efficiency of drones makes them more widely used in IoT environments such as commercial, military, entertainment applications, traffic surveillance and aerial photography.

A biological Indian Ocean Dipole event in 2019.

The 2019 positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) event in the boreal autumn was the most serious IOD event of the century with reports of significant sea surface temperature (SST) changes in the east and west equatorial Indian Ocean. Observations of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (SNPP) between 2012 and 2020 are used to study the significant biological dipole response that occurred in the equatorial Indian Ocean following the 2019 positive IOD event. For the first time, we propose, identify, characterize, and quantify the biological IOD.

Zeolite socony mobil-5 (ZSM-5) is a common catalyst used for biomass pyrolysis. Nevertheless, the quantitative information on the catalytic behavior of ZSM-5 on biomass pyrolysis is absent so far. This study focuses on the catalytic pyrolysis phenomena and mechanisms of biomass wastes using ZSM-5 via thermogravimetric analyzer and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, with particular emphasis on catalytic level identification and aromatic hydrocarbons (AHs) formation.
