Sorghum is a vital cereal crop recognized for its resilience under marginal soil and stress conditions. To identify high-yielding, climate-resilient accessions for breeding, this study implemented a two-stage, dual-year approach that is rarely reported in grain forage sorghum research. First, 26 accessions alongside BARI Jowar-1 were evaluated under well-watered conditions to assess genetic diversity in agronomic traits. Significant variability was observed among accessions for agronomic traits, including days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, panicle length (PL), grain yield per plant (GY), grain size, number of grains per panicle (GP), and thousand grain weight (TGW). High broad-sense heritability and genetic advance were noted for GY, GP, PL, GW, and TGW, indicating the potential for genetic improvement through selection. Multivariate analyses, including biplots, hierarchical heatmaps, and K-means clustering, identified BS-718, BS-746, and BS-749 as high-yielding and early-maturing accessions suitable for further evaluation. In the second stage, these three accessions and BARI Jowar-1 were evaluated under 60% field capacity and well-watered conditions to assess physio-biochemical and yield responses under water-limited environment. Water stress significantly reduced photosynthetic gas exchange attributes, leaf water potential, relative water content (RWC), photosynthetic pigments, PL, and grain yield across all accessions while increasing intercellular CO 2 concentration and leaf temperature. The magnitude of these reductions varied, with BARI Jowar-1 exhibiting the highest sensitivity and pronounced declines across measured traits, whereas BS-718 maintained higher RWC, pigment stability, gas exchange efficiency, and yield under drought condition, confirming its superior drought resilience. This integrated framework combining broad phenotypic screening with targeted physiological validation provides novel insights into sorghum variability and identifies BS-718 as a promising resource for developing drought-tolerant, high-yielding sorghum varieties. Further field trials and molecular characterization of these high-performing germplasms are warranted to facilitate the development of high-yielding, climate-resilient sorghum varieties.

Structural insights of AKT and its activation mechanism for drug development - B. Harish Kumar; Shama Prasada Kabekkodu; K. Sreedhara Ranganath Pai (Molecular Diversity, 2025)
AKT1, a serine/threonine kinase, is pivotal in signaling and regulating cell survival, proliferation, and metabolism. This review focuses on the structural insights and the essential features required for its active conformation. AKT belongs to the AGC kinase group and has three isoforms: AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3. AKT has three functional regions: PH domain, kinase domain, and hydrophobic motif. AKT1 activation involves intricate conformational changes, including transitions in the αC-in, DFG-in, G-loop, activation loop, and PH domain out, S-spine and R-spine formation, as well as phosphorylation at Thr 308 and Ser 473, which enable AKT1 to adopt active conformation. The analysis highlights the limitations of the AlphaFold-predicted AKT1 structure, which lacks key elements of the active state, including ATP, magnesium ion coordination, phosphatidylinositol-(1,3,4,5)-tetraphosphate, substrate peptide, and phosphorylation at Thr 308 and Ser 473. This study underscores the necessity of these features for stabilizing the kinase domain and facilitating efficient substrate phosphorylation. By consolidating structural insights and activation mechanisms, this review aims to inform the development of computational models and targeted therapeutics for AKT1 activators in diseases such as hepatic ischemia–reperfusion injury, cerebral ischemia, acute hepatic failure, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and alzheimer’s disease.

Computational screening and molecular dynamics of natural compounds targeting the SH2 domain of STAT3: a multitarget approach using network pharmacology - Sachindra Kumar; B. Harish Kumar; Raksha Nayak; Samyak Pandey; Nitesh Kumar; K. Sreedhara Ranganath Pai (Molecular Diversity, 2025)
SH2 (Src Homology 2) domains play a crucial role in phosphotyrosine-mediated signaling and have emerged as promising drug targets, particularly in cancer therapy. STAT3 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3), which contains an SH2 domain, plays a pivotal role in cancer progression and immune evasion because it facilitates the dimerization of STAT3, which is essential for their activation and subsequent nuclear translocation. SH2 domain-mediated STAT3 inhibition disrupts this binding, reduces phosphorylation of STAT3, and impairs dimerization. This study employed an in silico approach to screen potential natural compounds that could target the SH2 domain of STAT3 and inhibit its function. The phytomolecules (182455) were retrieved from the ZINC 15 database and were docked using various modes like HTVS, SP, and XP. The phytomolecules exhibiting higher binding affinity were selected. MM-GBSA was performed to determine binding free energy, and the QikProp tool was utilized to assess the pharmacokinetic properties of potential hit compounds, narrowing down the list of candidates. Molecular dynamics simulations, thermal MM-GBSA, and WaterMap analysis were performed on compounds that exhibited favorable binding affinities and pharmacokinetic characteristics. Based on docking scores and binding interactions, ZINC255200449, ZINC299817570, ZINC31167114, and ZINC67910988 were identified as potential STAT3 inhibitors. ZINC67910988 demonstrated superior stability in molecular dynamics simulation and WaterMap analysis. Furthermore, DFT was performed to determine energetic and electronic properties, and HOMO and LUMO sites were predicted for electronic structure calculation. Additionally, network pharmacology was performed to map the compounds’ interactions within biological networks, highlighting their multitarget potential. Compound-target networks elucidate the relationships between compounds and multiple targets, along with their associated pathways and help to minimize off-target effects. The identified lead compound showed strong potential as a STAT3 inhibitor, warranting further validation through in vitro and in vivo studies. Graphical abstract

Orchidaceae, one of the largest plant families, have been predicted in several analyses to be under a higher level of threat than angiosperms as a whole. Despite this, compared to many other major groups of animals and plants, orchids are under-represented on the Red List of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Since 2000, concerted efforts have led to the number of orchids on the Global Red List increasing from eight to > 2,000 species, but many of these assessments are now outdated, and c. 28,000 species remain to be assessed for the first time. Here we review the current knowledge of the conservation status of orchids based on Red Listing and other methods, including machine learning and EDGE (Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered). At the geographical level, Sub-Saharan Africa is relatively well sampled for the Global Red List, whereas South and Central America and tropical Asia are poorly sampled. With the existing Red List assessments, levels of threat vary widely between tribes and subtribes. Tribes and subtribes with no or low sampling are identified. We discuss the main threats, and we identify climate change and fire as emerging threats, the former due to the potential for disruption of critical associations with pollinators and mycorrhizal fungi.

Comprehending the Synergistic Roles of Cloud Properties and Dynamics on Extreme Rainfall Events During the Indian Summer Monsoon of 2019 - V. B. Arya; Moumita Bhowmik; Anupam Hazra; Suryachandra A. Rao; Deepeshkumar Jain; Rajesh Kumar Singh Maurya; V. G. Kiran (International Journal of Climatology, 2025)
In recent decades, the spread, intensity and frequency of extreme monsoon events over India have increased significantly. The year 2019 witnessed a widespread increase in extreme precipitation. Although oceanic variables have a role, the mechanism of rain formation and detailed cloud properties remain unclear for extremes. Using satellite and reanalysis datasets, we examined the interplay between cloud characteristics and dynamics in extreme and non‐extreme rainfall events for the 2019 monsoon. The study reveals that extreme events depict higher cloud ice (260.84 g/m2) and liquid (209.60 g/m2) mass than non‐extreme events (161.67 and 116.64 g/m 2 ) averaged over central India (CI) due to increased atmospheric moisture availability. Extreme events were associated with greater ice particles of all sizes, while non‐extreme events had lower number densities, primarily concentrated within the 21–35 μm range. These findings underscore the essential role of cloud microphysics in influencing extreme rainfall. The study reveals distinct differences in dynamical features, including atmospheric circulation, specific humidity, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR), and vertical velocity between extreme and non‐extreme events. The average specific humidity over CI is higher (9.01 g/kg) in extreme than non‐extreme (7.93 g/kg). The lower OLR in extreme (197.95 W/m 2 ) than non‐extreme events (210.80 W/m 2 ) indicates enhanced deep convection, which supports more stratiform rain, contributed significantly (~45%) to the total precipitation and significant difference in convective rain during extreme and non‐extreme events. In contrast, the Monsoon Mission Coupled Forecast System version 2.0 (MMCFSv2) model shows that the percentage of convective rainfall does not differ between extreme (76.56%) and non‐extreme (75.5%) events. Our findings deepen our understanding of the complex relationships between ocean and atmospheric dynamics and cloud properties, emphasising their pivotal influence on quantified precipitation forecasts (QPF) to improve extreme rainfall simulation.

The Southern Ocean (SO) is a critical driver of global wave dynamics, generating long-period swells that propagate vast distances and significantly impact far distant coastal regions, including the Indian coastal regions. Climate change has intensified westerly winds and altered storm tracks in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in higher wave heights and longer periods, which in turn increase the risk to coastal regions.​ However, the remote and harsh environment in the SO has historically limited in-situ wave observations, hindering a comprehensive understanding of the wave characteristics in the region. To bridge this gap, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) launched the Indian Ocean Wave Drifter (IOWD) program in 2021 under the Deep Ocean Mission to address the in-situ data gap in the Southern Indian Ocean. Through the deployment of GPS-enabled directional wave spectra drifters, the program has enabled near-real-time observations of wave characteristics across the SO. This article highlights the early outcomes of the IOWD program, including wave model validation, Stokes drift estimation, and swell tracking. The study emphasizes the importance of sustained in-situ observations from remote oceans for improving wave forecasting, enhancing coastal preparedness, and advancing scientific understanding of wave–current interactions and climate variability in the Indian Ocean region.

A Chromosome Inversion Creates a Supergene for Sex and Colour in Lake Malawi Cichlids - Kristen A. Behrens; Soumya Jailwala; Frances E. Clark; Anne C. Meyer; Nikesh M. Kumar; Adrianus F. Konings; Reade B. Roberts; Matthew A. Conte; Jeffrey T. Streelman; Patrick T. McGrath; Thomas D. Kocher (Molecular Ecology, 2025)
Cichlid fishes have the highest rates of evolutionary turnover of sex chromosomes among vertebrates. Many large structural polymorphisms in the radiation of cichlids in Lake Malawi are associated with sex chromosomes and may also carry adaptive variation. Here, we investigate the structure and evolutionary history of an inversion polymorphism that includes both a ZW sex locus and an orange‐blotch colour polymorphism in the rock‐dwelling cichlid fishes of Lake Malawi. We use long‐read sequencing to characterise the sequence and breakpoints of the inversion. We quantify allele frequency differences across the inversion in population samples of the genera Metriaclima and Labeotropheus . We also examine expression differences of genes in the inversion. The simple inversion spans 7 Mb and is flanked by CACTA transposons that may have catalysed the rearrangement. The region includes ~600 genes, several of which show large differences in expression. Some of these genes are candidates for the sex and colour phenotypes. This inversion is an accessible model system for studying the role of structural polymorphisms and sex chromosome turnover in the adaptive radiation of cichlids in the lakes of East Africa.

Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) beds as a Late Pleistocene isochron in the Indian subcontinent? New geochronological and sedimentological insights - Devara Anil; Monika Devi; Prabhin Sukumaran; B. V. Lakshmi; K. Deenadayalan; Sunil Kumar; Ambili Anoop; Zakir Khan; Vrushab Mahesh; Gopesh Jha; P. Ajithprasad; Naveen Chauhan (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2025)
The ~75 ka Young Toba super‐eruption was a catastrophic extreme event that spewed vast quantities of volcanic ash and aerosols and is argued to have caused a drastic volcanic winter, climatic upheaval, and a human genetic bottleneck. The global and regional impacts of the eruption on climate dynamics and past hominin populations are strongly contested due to conflicting global climatic records and archeological datasets. The Indian subcontinent is a key place for Toba research due to its proximity to Mt. Toba (Indonesia). Most of central and peninsular India is estimated to have been covered by a ~5 cm ash layer, with deposits found in different fluvial systems across the subcontinent. For a long time, many of these Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) deposits, occurring in both archeological and non‐archeological contexts, were believed to be primary tephra deposits dating to ~75 ka. However, the use of YTT as a Late Pleistocene chronological marker is surrounded by many uncertainties, primarily due to the complex and varying nature of the depositional and sedimentary contexts of YTT and chronological irregularities. Recent sedimentological and geochronological data indicate that most of the YTT deposits in India are secondary deposits, resulting from later erosion and redeposition occurring thousands of years after the eruption. This highlights the unreliability of YTT as an isochron and raises questions about the credibility of paleoclimate (terrestrial and marine) and archeological datasets that use YTT as a chronological marker. Our study contributes to this debate and reveals the complex redepositional history of YTT deposits in the Indian subcontinent through geochronological and geoarchaeological analyses of YTT‐bearing sequences from Motravulapadu, Andhra Pradesh, India. Our findings suggest that the final burial of YTT occurred around 30 ka, highlighting a temporal gap of more than 40 000 years after the eruption. Notably, the redeposited tephra horizon appears visually uniform and compositionally pure, despite its secondary context, adding complexity to its stratigraphic interpretation. Our multiproxy sedimentological approach demonstrates the importance of integrating detailed stratigraphic, magnetic, granulometric, and chronological analyses to resolve such depositional ambiguities; it underscores the need for similar frameworks in future studies of YTT‐bearing sequences. We suggest that YTT in India cannot be used as a reliable chronological marker without independent age estimations of its deposition. However, it has significant potential for identifying regional geological events.

Extension of lifespan by epicatechin, halofuginone and mitoglitazone in male but not female genetically heterogeneous mice - Randy Strong; James F. Nelson; Molly A. Bogue; Jerry R. Colca; Martin Denzel; Vivian Diaz; Brian N. Finck; Vadim N. Gladyshev; Steve Horvath; Nisi Jiang; Tracy Keller; Rolf F. Kletzien; et al. (GeroScience, 2025)
Mice bred in 2021 were tested by the Interventions Testing Program (ITP) for possible lifespan benefits of 2BAct (2BA), dichloroacetate (DCA), Epicatechin (EPI), Forskolin (FSK), Halofuginone (HAL) and Mitoglitazone (MIT). All agents were administered in the diet ad libitum beginning at 7 months of age. In male mice, EPI increased median lifespan by ~ 5%, and HAL and MIT each increased median lifespan by ~ 9%. EPI and HAL, but not MIT, increased 90% survival. In addition to adding 3 new agents to the list of interventions identified by the ITP that extend lifespan, this report continues the strong male bias in the efficacy of life-extending drugs identified so far.

Wind-stress misalignment in the presence of swells in the Bay of Bengal - Abhijith Raj; B. Praveen Kumar; Venkata Jampana; P. G. Remya; Hyodae Seo; N. Sureshkumar; E. Pattabhi Rama Rao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
This study investigates the directional characteristics of momentum flux, τ, under diverse wind-wave conditions in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Using high-frequency data from an eddy covariance flux system deployed on a moored buoy, we identify various cases of wind-swell alignment and their resulting τ directions, with emphasis on seasonal variations. During June-August (JJA), when winds and swells are generally aligned, τ lies between wind and swell directions in 34% of wind-dominated cases, facilitating momentum transfer to developing seas. However, in 57% of cases where swells dominate or winds weaken, τ shifts toward the swell direction. In December-February (DJF), counter-swell conditions with moderate winds dominate, aligning τ between wind and opposing swell directions under wind dominance or between wind and swell directions when swells dominate. For the first time, this study quantifies the biases in Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST)-based bulk flux models, which underestimate stress by ~12% under counter-swell conditions and ~7% in swell-dominated regimes due to their inability to account accurately the sea-state effects. These findings highlight the key role of wind-swell misalignment and swell-induced stresses in modulating τ direction and magnitude. Our results emphasize the need for parameterizations that account more accurately the sea-state effects to improve air-sea interaction models in seasonally wind-reversing, swell-dominated regions like the BoB.

Widespread occurrence of Tilapia parvovirus in farmed Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus from India - Kooloth Valappil Rajendran; Neeraj Sood; B. Madhusudhana Rao; Anisha Valsalam; Megha K. Bedekar; Kezhedath Jeena; Pravata Kumar Pradhan; Anutosh Paria; Thangaraj Raja Swaminathan; Dev Kumar Verma; Naresh Kumar Sood (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2025)
Tilapia parvovirus (TiPV) has been associated with heavy mortalities in tilapia as a single infection or in co‐infection with Tilapia lake virus (TiLV). In this study, TiPV was detected in farmed Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus , from two geographical regions of India, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. TiPV‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reported earlier was used in the screening. Tilapia collected from Maharashtra showed characteristic clinical signs, and TiPV was detected along with TiLV and/or Aeromonas spp. However, fish from Uttar Pradesh were apparently healthy and only TiPV could be detected in these samples. A high prevalence of TiPV was recorded from both the geographical locations, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh (59.6% and 95.0% respectively). The virus could be detected in tissues such as the spleen, liver, kidney, brain and mucus. The spleen appeared to be the best tissue for detecting TiPV in apparently healthy tilapia. The presence of TiPV was further confirmed through sequencing the PCR products, isolation of the virus in the cell line and electron microscopy. Sequences of the NS1 gene of the two TiPV isolates showed similarity to the earlier reported TiPV isolates. The virus could be successfully propagated in O. niloticus Liver (OnL) cell line, and cytopathic effect was observed as early as 3 days post‐infection. Furthermore, the presence of non‐enveloped icosahedral to round virus particles measuring about 26–35 nm could be demonstrated in the cytoplasm and nucleus of infected OnL cells in transmission electron microscopy. With this confirmation of the presence of the virus, India is the third country to report TiPV after China and Thailand. The detection of TiPV in co‐infection cases with TiLV and in apparently healthy Nile tilapia suggests its wide distribution and potential synergistic effect in co‐infection cases. Therefore, this emerging virus needs holistic attention to understand its virulence, host‐specificity and epidemiological risk factors.

Dissecting resistance mechanisms to Agroathelia rolfsii in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) through comparative RNA-Seq profiling of resistant and susceptible genotypes - Pankaj Kumar Verma; Arindam Das; Manisha Ojha; Koushik Ghose; Gunvant B. Patil; Venkateswara R. Sripathi; Rebecca S. Bennett; Naveen Puppala; Madhusudhana R. Janga (Journal of Plant Pathology, 2025)
Stem rot, caused by the fungal pathogen Agroathelia rolfsii , is a devastating disease in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.), resulting in substantial global agricultural losses. This study employed RNA sequencing to unravel the molecular mechanisms of resistance by analysing the gene expression profiles of a resistant peanut genotype (Georgia-03 L) and a susceptible genotype (Valencia C) under normal and infected conditions. From the sequencing data, 405.9 million high-quality reads were successfully mapped to the A. hypogaea reference genome, achieving an average mapping rate of 97%. The alignment showed that out of the 67,124 annotated genes in the Tifrunner genome, 49,598 were expressed in at least one sample. In the resistant genotype, key defense-related genes, including receptor-like kinases, NBS-LRR resistance genes, and transcription factors such as MYB and zinc finger proteins, were strongly induced upon infection in G03L. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) identified a coexpression gene module which associated with resistance and enriched with the genes involved in oxidative stress response, secondary metabolism, and cell wall reinforcement. In contrast, the susceptible genotype displayed a limited activation of these defense pathways, emphasizing its vulnerability to A. rolfsii . Functional annotation highlighted critical pathways, such as oxidoreductase activity, glutathione metabolism, and peroxidase-mediated responses, as pivotal to the resistance mechanisms. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular basis of stem rot resistance in peanuts, offering a foundation for breeding or genetic engineering approaches to enhance disease resistance in susceptible cultivars.

Spatial Characteristics and Evolution Mechanisms of the Indian Ocean Tripole Mode and Its Impact on Rainfall Patterns Over India - Prerna Malik; Bhasha H. Vachharajani; B. Praveen Kumar; P. G. Remya (International Journal of Climatology, 2025)
The IOT mode is an interannual climate pattern in the Tropical Indian Ocean (TIO), characterised by negative SSTA in both the eastern and western TIO, and positive SSTA in the south‐central TIO. Distinct from the IOD, which accounts for 10% of SSTA variability in the TIO, the IOT explains 8% of this variance. This study reveals that strong south‐westerly wind anomalies along the Somali coast and Arabian Sea associated with a positive IOT drive intense surface cooling, which spreads across the western basin through lateral advection. A typical positive IOT enhances monsoon winds over northern India, leading to increased rainfall across the Indo‐Gangetic Plains, while deflecting monsoon winds further south over the southern peninsula, resulting in reduced rainfall there. Additionally, a cyclonic wind anomaly in the Bay of Bengal dampens winds over regions of northeastern India, suppressing summer monsoon rainfall. The findings underscore the significant role of the IOT in modulating monsoon rainfall and its spatial distribution. This study highlights the IOT's potential to enhance understanding of monsoon variability, and its incorporation into predictive models could improve climate resilience in monsoon‐dependent regions.

INCOIS air-sea Flux Reference System onboard ORV Sagar Nidhi: overview and initial results - B. Praveen Kumar; Abhijith Raj; Asish K. Sasidharan; N. Sureshkumar; A. A. Gnanaraj; Deepak Sankar; K. Ramasundaram; Venkata Jampana; E. Pattabhi Rama Rao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Accurate estimation of air-sea fluxes is essential for advancing ocean modeling, observational studies, and understanding air-sea interactions. To address this need, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) developed and deployed a Flux Reference System (INCOIS-FRS) onboard ORV Sagar Nidhi . This article provides an overview of the system, its components, data acquisition methods, flux computation techniques, and preliminary results. The INCOIS-FRS integrates an Eddy Covariance Flux System (ECFS) and an Automated Weather Station (AWS). The ECFS collects high-frequency (20 Hz) data to directly estimate the latent heat flux (LHF), sensible heat flux (SHF), and momentum flux (τ) using the Eddy Covariance (EC) method. The AWS records meteorological and oceanic variables at 1 Hz, enabling flux estimates using the COARE 3.5 algorithm. A spectrally flat Class-A pyranometer and a pyrgeometer provide climate-grade measurements of downward shortwave and longwave radiation, which, combined with EC-derived SHF and LHF, yield the net heat flux. This article presents preliminary results inferred from data collected by INCOIS-FRS during a cruise in the Arabian Sea from 1–16 July 2023. Data from this system are useful for validating model outputs and satellite observations, refining flux parameterizations, marine boundary layer studies, and improving air-sea interaction models. INCOIS-FRS represents a first step toward equipping more oceanographic platforms, both crewed and uncrewed, with flux reference units. Future plans include expanding such deployments to enhance observational coverage and support research on air-sea fluxes across the Indian Ocean and other regions.

Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R package (BioTIMEr) to facilitate use of the database. Main Types of Variables Included The database is composed of one main data table containing the abundance records and 11 metadata tables. The data are organised in a hierarchy of scales where 11,989,233 records are nested in 1,603,067 sample events, from 553,253 sampling locations, which are nested in 708 studies. A study is defined as a sampling methodology applied to an assemblage for a minimum of 2 years. Spatial Location and Grain Sampling locations in BioTIME are distributed across the planet, including marine, terrestrial and freshwater realms. Spatial grain size and extent vary across studies depending on sampling methodology. We recommend gridding of sampling locations into areas of consistent size. Time Period and Grain The earliest time series in BioTIME start in 1874, and the most recent records are from 2023. Temporal grain and duration vary across studies. We recommend doing sample‐level rarefaction to ensure consistent sampling effort through time before calculating any diversity metric. Major Taxa and Level of Measurement The database includes any eukaryotic taxa, with a combined total of 56,400 taxa. Software Format csv and. SQL.

The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase Six (CMIP6) lacks wave climate projections, emphasising the critical need to select the most accurate CMIP6 model winds for projecting wave climate. This study focuses on evaluating and selecting the optimal CMIP6 model wind fields for the Indian Ocean wave climate projections. A 35‐year (1980–2014) wind‐wave climate simulation of the Indian Ocean (IO) using the third‐generation wave model WAVEWATCH‐III (WW3), forced with seven CMIP6 Global Climate Models (BCC‐CSM2‐HR, EC‐Earth3, CMCC‐CM2‐SR, GFDL‐ESM4, CNRM‐CM6‐1‐HR, HadGEM3‐GC31‐MM and MPI‐ESM1‐2‐HR), is generated and validated against in situ buoy observations and ERA5 reanalysis data. Statistical analyses revealed that MPI, BCC and EC are the most accurate in representing wave characteristics in the IO, exhibiting strong correlations with observations and effectively capturing inter‐annual variability. Extreme wave analysis shows that MPI, BCC and EC model wind‐forced wave simulations match well with ERA5 data. The top three models (MPI, BCC and EC) are then selected for the composite analysis to assess their capability to reproduce the climate mode impacts on IO wave climate. EC performs best in capturing wave fields under El‐Nino Southern Oscillation, Southern Annular Mode, and Indian Ocean Dipole influences, followed by BCC and MPI. Thus, the study identifies BCC, MPI and EC as the optimal CMIP6 models for the Indian Ocean wave projections.
