Multifractal characterization of meteorological drought in India using detrended fluctuation analysis - S. Adarsh; D. Nagesh Kumar; B. Deepthi; G. Gayathri; S. S. Aswathy; S. Bhagyasree (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
This study presents multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF‐DFA) to describe the multifractality of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) series from 30 meteorological subdivisions of India estimated at different aggregation timescales (3, 6 and 12 months) based on long‐term monthly rainfall data sets of 1871–2016 period. The plots of fluctuation function and generalized Hurst exponents confirmed that multifractality is evident in most of the SPI series; however, it is found that its strength and persistency differ with timescale and space. The Hurst exponents of long‐term (SPI‐12) and medium‐term (SPI‐6) drought series of all subdivisions showed long‐term persistence irrespective of the climatic conditions of the region, while the short‐term droughts (SPI‐3) of six subdivisions displayed short‐term persistence. Further, the analysis by partitioning the data to four time spells: 1871–1905, 1906–1940, 1941–1975 and 1976–2016 showed that the persistency of long‐ and medium‐term drought is rather permanent. The analysis on changes in multifractal properties with respect to the climatic shift of 1976/1977 period showed that there is a clear increase in multifractal properties of all types of drought series in the recent past (post‐1976 period). This study also finds that the Hurst exponents and degree of multifractality of all types of droughts increase with increase in aggregation timescales. The multifractality of all the long‐term drought series (SPI‐12) and most of the SPI‐6 series are found to be due to correlation properties, while that of SPI‐3 is because of joint effect of correlation properties and the broadness of probability distribution.

Features of locally and remotely generated surface gravity waves in the inner‐shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal - M. Anjali Nair; V. Sanil Kumar; M. M. Amrutha; V. S. N. Murty (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
In this article, we studied the characteristics of locally and remotely generated wind waves in the inner‐shelf region of northwestern Bay of Bengal (BoB) based on the measured wave data. Two well‐differentiated wave systems, one young sea from the east‐southeast and another more developed swell from the south lead to bimodality in the wave spectrum. Wind‐sea predominance is not observed in the monthly average wave spectrum and in all the months swells dominated indicating a swell‐driven wave regime. During the monsoon (JJAS), the wave climate is dominated by long‐period swell from the south‐southeast and the short fetch during the northeast monsoon (ONDJ) leads to weaker easterly swells, while the effects of the sea/land breeze influence on the wave generation are more relevant during this season. During November–April, diurnal variation of 0.15 m in significant wave height (SWH) is observed. The study based on seasonally averaged ERA‐Interim reanalysis data reveals a weak connection between the waves in the northwestern BoB and the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. The waves are influenced by ENSO events during June–September and by IOD events during October–January, which consequently caused inter‐annual variations in monthly average SWH. The present study, however, did not show a significant inter‐annual variability in annual mean SWH during 1979–2015.

White leg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei , were collected on a monthly basis from grow‐out ponds located at Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh states along the east coast of India for screening of viral and other pathogens. Totally 240 shrimp samples randomly collected from 92 farms were screened for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), infectious myonecrosis virus (IMNV) and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). The number of shrimp collected from shrimp farms ranged from 6 to 20 based on the body weight of the shrimp. All the shrimp collected from one farm were pooled together for screening for pathogens by PCR assay. Among the samples screened, 28 samples were WSSV‐positive, one positive for IHHNV and 30 samples positive for EHP. Among the positive samples, four samples were found to be positive for both WSSV and EHP, which indicated that the shrimp had multiple infections with WSSV and EHP. This is the first report on the occurrence of multiple infections caused by WSSV and EHP. Multiplex PCR (m‐PCR) protocol was standardized to detect both pathogens simultaneously in single reaction instead of carrying out separate PCR for both pathogens. Using m‐PCR assay, naturally infected shrimp samples collected from field showed two prominent bands of 615 and 510 bp for WSSV and EHP, respectively.

Simulation of extreme Indian summer monsoon years in Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 models: Role of cloud processes - Hemantkumar S. Chaudhari; Anupam Hazra; Samir Pokhrel; Subodh Kumar Saha; Sai Sruthi Talluri (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
The Indian summer monsoon (ISM) is a climate coupled system where cloud processes play a significant role in modulating the thermodynamics and dynamics of the atmosphere. The realistic representation of cloud by coupled model becomes indispensable for the simulation of the rainfall variability dictating the extreme ISM rainfall years. This study pinpoints the importance of correct representation of cloud processes and different types of rainfall in coupled climate model for the realistic simulation of monsoon extreme rainfall years. The study has used historical runs of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models. It provided best opportunity to investigate the ISM rainfall characteristics in case of anomalous monsoon and associated physical processes responsible for the modulation of large‐scale circulation. The study has identified the mechanism behind the better simulation of anomalous years. Relatively more cloud condensate at upper level and middle level is present in excess monsoon years. Pertaining to phase changes and thermodynamical processes, there will be relatively more tropospheric temperature gradient and it will be conducive for strong monsoon. Proper representation of convective and stratiform rain is seen during extreme years. Precipitable water is also relatively more during excess monsoon years. As a result, total rainfall also enhances and it leads to excess monsoon. In contrast, during deficient monsoon relatively less cloud condensate at upper level and middle level is present. Therefore, the correct representation of cloud condensate vertical profile and stratiform/convective rain are crucial for the better simulation of excess and deficient monsoon, which may further improve the variability of ISM in climate model. This study connotes the urgent need of the improvement of cloud parameterization in coupled climate models for the betterment of monsoon variability and realistic representation of deficient/excess monsoon rainfall patterns over Indian subcontinent.

Surface air temperature variability over the Arabian Peninsula and its links to circulation patterns - Raju Attada; Hari Prasad Dasari; Jasti S. Chowdary; Ramesh Kumar Yadav; Omar Knio; Ibrahim Hoteit (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
This study investigates the long‐term variability of surface air temperature (SAT) over the Arabian Peninsula (AP), using data from the Climate Research Unit (TS 3.22) for the 1960–2010 period. The long‐term climatology suggests that the warmest AP mean temperatures occur during summer, with the highest temperatures over the northern AP (NAP), due to the monsoon–desert mechanism. During winter, the NAP exhibits low SATs under the influence of western disturbances originating from the Mediterranean. The southwestern AP exhibits the lowest temperatures because of its proximity to the Arabian Sea cold waters, and also because of the orographic effects. The inter‐annual variability of the SAT is stronger during winters. A linear trend analysis reveals a significant increase in the SAT anomaly (0.10 °C/decade) across the AP, consistently with the global temperature anomalies. Besides the local convective heating, summer SAT variability is associated with the weakening of the Asian jet stream and a Rossby wave train from the Indian Ocean. This variability is also influenced by the anomalous low pressure over the North Atlantic and the Sahara, a high‐pressure system over Siberia and the northwest Pacific. Both in spring and autumn, sea surface temperature (SST) variations over the Indo‐western Pacific are highly influenced the AP SATs, whereas winter SATs are modulated by the subtropical jet stream and the Middle East jet stream. In all seasons, the AP SAT is strongly influenced by the SST variations over the tropical oceans. The temperature variability is closely associated with the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO). The warm phase of ENSO (i.e., El Niño) is one possible reason behind the inter‐annual increase in SAT over the southern AP. The negative phases of NAO and AO also play a role in increasing AP SAT.

Climate change impact and adaptation for wheat protein - Senthold Asseng; Pierre Martre; Andrea Maiorano; Reimund P. Rötter; Garry J. O’Leary; Glenn J. Fitzgerald; Christine Girousse; Rosella Motzo; Francesco Giunta; M. Ali Babar; Matthew P. Reynolds; Ahmed M. S. Kheir; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Wheat grain protein concentration is an important determinant of wheat quality for human nutrition that is often overlooked in efforts to improve crop production. We tested and applied a 32‐multi‐model ensemble to simulate global wheat yield and quality in a changing climate. Potential benefits of elevated atmospheric CO 2 concentration by 2050 on global wheat grain and protein yield are likely to be negated by impacts from rising temperature and changes in rainfall, but with considerable disparities between regions. Grain and protein yields are expected to be lower and more variable in most low‐rainfall regions, with nitrogen availability limiting growth stimulus from elevated CO 2 . Introducing genotypes adapted to warmer temperatures (and also considering changes in CO 2 and rainfall) could boost global wheat yield by 7% and protein yield by 2%, but grain protein concentration would be reduced by −1.1 percentage points, representing a relative change of −8.6%. Climate change adaptations that benefit grain yield are not always positive for grain quality, putting additional pressure on global wheat production.
