Analyses of the oceanic heat content during 1980–2014 and satellite‐era cyclones over Bay of Bengal - Anandh T. S.; Bijan Kumar Das; Bishnu Kumar; Jayanarayanan Kuttippurath; Arun Chakraborty (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Bay of Bengal (BoB) is one of the most cyclone prone regions in the world. Cyclones receive energy from warm ocean surface waters and the change in cyclone activity generally depends on the change in heat energy available in the upper ocean. Here, we use satellite‐based Modern Era Retrospective‐analysis for Research and Applications dataset, and reanalysis of Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) and European Centre for Medium‐range Weather Forecasts–Ocean ReAnalysis System 4 (ECMWF–ORAS4) to analyse the oceanic heat content (OHC) and heat flux to identify sources of the additional heat input in the region during the period 1980–2014. It has been observed that during 1999–2014, heat energy is mainly stored in the southern and northwestern parts of the bay and it shows an increasing trend in both regions. In the analysis of OHC, the European Centre for Medium‐range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) data show a trend of −0.87 × 10 18 J/month during 1980–1998 and 7.58 × 10 18 J/month during 1999–2014 whereas, the SODA data show a trend of 0.94 × 10 18 J/month during 1980–1998 and 5.25 × 10 18 J/month during 1999–2014. It is found that many cyclones are seeded in the southeastern bay and intensified over the northwestern bay, consistent with the increase in cyclone heat potential and the upper ocean heat content (UOHC) in those regions. The heat flux in the bay is primarily governed by the heat entering the eastern side and leaving through the western side. In 1999–2014, the incoming heat flux along the eastern boundary has increased significantly (from 0.18 × 10 12 to 0.57 × 10 12 W/month), indicating that more heat enters the region. Furthermore, a significant reduction in the outgoing heat flux along the western boundary has also been found from the analysis. These processes trap the heat and thereby contributing to the increase in OHC in the bay. The heat flux through the bay is mainly linked with conditions prevailing over Pacific Ocean, such as, the heat influx of BoB decreases during El‐Nino and increases during La‐Nina years.

Enhancing the Proficiency of Water Use in Wheat Through Nitrogen Forms, Irrigation Intervals and Soil Conditioners - S.M.M. Abdou; R. Ahmed Azza; S. Naresh Kumar; F.R.M. Farrag (Irrigation and Drainage, 2018)
Field experiments were carried out at the Tameia Agricultural Research Station, Fayoum Governorate, Egypt, during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons in order to study the impact of nitrogen fertilization forms, irrigation intervals and some soil conditioners on the yield, yield components and crop water relations of wheat (Giza 168). Two nitrogen forms with three irrigation intervals, i.e. I 1 : irrigation at 14 days, I 2 : 21 days and I 3 : 28 days with soil conditioners at the rate of 11.9 t ha ‐1 , i.e. C 1 control (without any addition), C 2 : compost, C 3 : rice straw and C 4 : sawdust with three replications in a split‐split plot design. Results indicate that the highest wheat grain yields in both years were detected from a combination of applying liquid ammonia gas, irrigation at 14‐day intervals and addition of compost. This treatment also gave higher values for yield components, uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and their concentration in the grain. Further, it resulted in highest values for the consumptive use of water as well as water productivity. Thus, a combination of applying liquid ammonia gas, irrigation at 14‐day intervals and addition of compost can be adopted in wider areas in Egypt for enhanced wheat grain yield. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

White spot syndrome virus ( WSSV )‐infected shrimp samples collected from grow‐out ponds located at Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, showed WSSV negative and positive by PCR using primer sets specific to ORF 119 and VP 28 gene of WSSV , respectively. This indicated the deletion of genetic fragments in the genome of WSSV . The WSSV isolate along with lab strain of WSSV was subjected to next‐generation sequencing. The sequence analysis revealed a deletion of 13,170 bp at five positions in the genome of WSSV ‐ NS (new strain) relative to WSSV ‐ TH and WSSV ‐ LS (lab strain). The PCR analysis using the ORF 's specific primer sets revealed the complete deletion of 10 ORF s in the genome of WSSV ‐ NS strain. The primer set was designed based on sequence covering ORF 161/162/163 to amplify a product of 2,748 bp for WSSV ‐ LS and 402 bp for WSSV ‐ NS . Our surveillance programme carried out since 2002 revealed the replacement of WSSV ‐ LS by WSSV ‐ NS in Indian shrimp culture system.

Contrast in monsoon precipitation over oceanic region of north Bay of Bengal and east equatorial Indian Ocean - Samir Pokhrel; Anupam Hazra; Subodh Kumar Saha; Hemantkumar S. Chaudhari; Abirlal Metya; Sachin D. Ghude; Mahen Konwar (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
This study explores the possible causes of rainfall distribution over the two major oceanic raining regions of the north Bay of Bengal (nBoB) and the east equatorial Indian Ocean (eEIO). Despite 17% difference in vertically averaged humidity, there is almost 34% difference in mean rainfall over these two regions. The climatological seasonal [June–September (JJAS)] mean (standard deviation) rainfall over nBoB region is always higher (lower) than that over the eEIO region in all the independent data used. The eEIO region has a much larger percentage of low stratiform and convective rainfall ( −1 ) distribution as compared to nBoB, which is totally opposite in case of moderate stratiform and convective rainfall (>5 mm day −1 ) distribution. This is further substantiated by a much lower values of outgoing long‐wave radiation (OLR) in nBoB ( −2 ) as compared to the eEIO (217 W m −2 ) region. Mean Hadley circulation along with relative vorticity/divergence profile supports more intense (gentle) updrafts over nBoB (eEIO) region. Latent heat (LH) is almost three times at the upper level (∼8 km) in case of nBoB as compared to eEIO; however, at the lower level (∼3 km) LH is marginally higher over eEIO region. Microphysical variables, namely cloud ice optical thickness and cloud ice water path, are in much larger quantities over nBoB as compared to eEIO. Furthermore, the cold (warm) rain processes dominate among other microphysical processes over nBoB (eEIO) region. Thus, the interplay among large‐scale dynamics, thermodynamics and microphysics is very crucial in the formation of deep clouds and convective rain over the nBoB region and similarly shallow clouds and stratiform rain over the eEIO region. This study will be very useful to guide present‐day coupled models for proper representation of different rain components over the nBoB and eEIO region.

Intra‐seasonal variability of the South Asian monsoon and its relationship with the Indo–Pacific sea‐surface temperature in the NCEP CFSv2 - Namendra Kumar Shahi; Shailendra Rai; A. K. Sahai; S. Abhilash (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The capability to predict the leading modes of daily variability for South Asian monsoon in the climate forecast system version 2 (CFSv2) of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) is investigated. The CFSv2 model forecast at four pentad leads named as P1–P4 has been used in this study. The multi‐channel singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) on the daily anomalies of precipitation over the South Asian monsoon region for the period of 2001–2014 with a lag window of 61 days has been applied for June–July–August–September (JJAS) for all the four pentad lead forecasts of model and observation. It is encouraging that the space–time structure and propagation characteristics are exactly similar to observation up to P1 lead forecast. The model produces stationary modes and the northwest to southeast tilt significantly reduces from P2 lead onwards. The relationship of oscillatory and persisting modes with Indo–Pacific Ocean SST has been investigated. It is found that the SST over Pacific Ocean is independent of oscillatory mode in the case of P1 and P2 lead forecasts as in the case of observation. The model reproduces the observed correlation of Indian monsoon rainfall (IMR) index for the seasonally persisting mode with SST over Indo–Pacific Ocean up to P3 lead forecast which is a significant improvement. The contribution of El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) mode to total anomaly over India is large in Pl lead and it decreases from P2 to P4 lead forecast.

Processes controlling the accelerated warming of the Arabian Sea - Joshua Rosario D'Mello; S. Prasanna Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
The Arabian Sea (AS) has undergone a regime shift after 1995, manifesting the disruption of its natural decadal cycle over‐riding a secular rise in its sea‐surface temperature (SST). Using a suite of in situ and remote sensing data, we show that the rate of post‐1995 accelerated warming is spatially different, due to regionally and seasonally differing oceanographic processes. Along parts of the western boundary, the accelerated warming was mediated by a reduction in the post‐1995 linear trend of wind speed during summer monsoon leading to reduced upwelling and also reduced evaporation trend. In the northeast AS, post‐1995 increase in specific humidity during late winter, lead to a decrease in the evaporative cooling and subsequent convective mixing resulting in the increased rate of warming. The continued warming seen in the northeast AS until spring inter‐monsoon was due to the increasing net heat flux trend into the ocean along with reducing trend in evaporation. The accelerated warming in the central AS was linked to the reduced wind speed trend.

To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing relatively uncharacterized lines. In this study, crosses were designed to complement “source” with “sink” traits, where at least one parent was selected for favorable expression of biomass and/or radiation use efficiency—source—and the other for sink-related traits like harvest-index, kernel weight and grains per spike. Female parents were selected from among genetic resources—including landraces and products of wide-crossing (i.e. synthetic wheat)—that had been evaluated in Mexico at high yield potential or under heat stress, while elite lines were used as males. Progeny of crosses were advanced to the F 4 generation within Mexico, and F 4 -derived F 5 and F 6 generations were yield tested to populate four international nurseries, targeted to high yield environments (2nd and 3rd WYCYT) for yield potential, and heat stressed environments (2nd and 4th SATYN) for climate resilience, respectively. Each nursery was grown as multi-location yield trials. Genetic gains were achieved in both temperate and hot environments, with most new PT-derived lines expressing superior yield and biomass compared to local checks at almost all international sites. Furthermore, the tendency across all four nurseries indicated either the superiority of the best new PT lines compared with the CIMMYT elite checks, or the superiority of all new PT lines as a group compared with all checks, and in some cases, both. Results support—in a realistic breeding context—the hypothesis that yield and radiation use efficiency can be increased by improving source:sink balance, and validate the feasibility of incorporating exotic germplasm into mainstream breeding efforts to accelerate genetic gains for yield potential and climate resilience.
