The variability in solar radiation creates a gap between energy demand and supply, which necessitates the use of efficient thermal energy storage for bridging the gap to make the solar thermal power plant a viable solution for continuous power generation. In this work, a mathematical model of encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) based latent ...
This study uses archives from phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to investigate changes in independency between two types of El Nino events caused by greenhouse warming. In the observations, the independency between cold tongue (CT) and warm pool (WP) El Nino events is distinctively increased in recent decades. The simulat...
A water mass analysis of the Coral Sea thermocline waters provides a description of their distribution, pathways and mixture based on recent oceanographic cruises in this region of strong western boundary currents. The Optimum Multiparameter method is used to determine the relative contribution of core water masses based on their measured temperatu...
The equatorial edge of the Western Pacific Warm Pool is operationally identified by one isotherm ranging between 28° and 29 °C, chosen to align with the interannual variability of strong zonal salinity gradients and the convergence of zonal ocean currents. The simulation of this edge is examined in 19 models from the World Climate Research Program ...
In this paper, we provide an update on the trends of climate and oceanographic conditions in the Indian Ocean, at both basin and regional scales. The ENSO cycle has been largely fluctuating between ENSO-neutral and Niña conditions during the past 4 year and is considered being in a neutral state in 2014. Forecast coupled models give a 58% chance th...
In this study, we document and interpret the characteristics of the Intra-seasonal Kelvin wave (ISKw) in the Pacific over the 1989–2011 period, based on observations, a linear model, and the outputs of an Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM). We focus on the wave activity during the Central Pacific (CP) El Niño events contrasting with the extraor...
