Why is the Bay of Bengal experiencing a reduced rate of sea surface warming? - Joshua Rosario D'Mello; S. Prasanna Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2016)
The sea surface temperature ( SST ) in the Bay of Bengal ( BoB ) during the period 1960–1995 showed a decadal cycle, riding over a warming trend. The disruption of the decadal cycle was noticed post‐1995 and was followed by a slowdown in the sea surface warming. The cause for the disruption of the SST decadal cycle was the weakening of the link between SST and sunspot number. The rising trend in the SST is due to the increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentration. The post‐1995 SST slowdown was due to the increasing influence of the number of depressions, cyclones and severe cyclones in the BoB, the occurrence of which showed an upward trend. Using Price–Weller–Pinkel model we show that cyclonic systems deepen the mixed‐layer through enhanced mechanical‐mixing with cooler sub‐surface waters, thereby reducing the mixed‐layer temperature and consequently the SST . This process opposes the SST rise due to increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentration. The net effect of the wind‐mixing caused by the increased number of depressions, cyclones and severe cyclones and the increased CO 2 concentration is a SST slowdown in the BoB. This mechanism differs from the SST slowdown mechanisms suggested for the Atlantic and the Pacific.

Several aspects of real‐time forecast of Indian summer monsoon ( ISM ) in 3–4 pentad lead time (extended range) are discussed in this study to explore the operational capability of the Climate Forecast System model version 2 ( CFSv2 ) developed by National Centre for Environmental Prediction ( NCEP ). 2013 summer monsoon was a near excess monsoon year in terms of seasonal mean and was a result of rich diversity of phenomena including strong intraseasonal variations and intense northward propagations over the Indian region. Eleven‐member forecasts were made at every 5‐day interval during the June–September monsoon season which included monsoon onset and withdrawal phases. The ensemble members were created by perturbing the initial conditions at each start time. In addition to the CFSv2 forecasts, we also carried out forecasts using the atmospheric‐only component ( GFSv2 ) forced with CFSv2 ‐derived sea surface temperature (SST) subjected to a bias correction based on historical observations ( GFSbc runs). Both the CFSv2 and GFSbc runs were able to predict the progression of ISM over the Indian region and the subsequent intraseasonal oscillations (active and break phases). The analysis for an extreme event (Uttarakhand flood) and monsoon revival (MR) towards the end of the season was also performed. Comparison between the two runs shows that active and break spells were predicted with good fidelity over the Indian region, though GFSbc outperforms CFSv2 on several occasions. Thus, improvement of the operational monsoon forecast over Indian region using NCEP CFSv2 requires better representation of air–sea interaction and mean states of ocean.

Immune responses of whiteleg shrimp, L itopenaeus vannamei ( B oone, 1931), to bacterially expressed ds RNA specific to VP 28 gene of white spot syndrome virus - G Taju; N Madan; S Abdul Majeed; T Raj Kumar; S Thamizhvanan; S K Otta; A S Sahul Hameed (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2015)
In this study, dsRNA specific to VP28 gene of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) of shrimp was synthesized in E scherichia coli in large scale and studied the immune response of shrimp to dsRNA‐VP28. The haematological parameters such as clotting time and total haemocytes counts, and immunological parameters such as prophenoloxidase (proPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), superoxide anion (SOA) and malondialdehyde content, as well as the mRNA expression of ten immune‐related genes were examined to estimate the effect of dsRNA‐VP28 on the innate immunity of L itopenaeus vannamei . The activities of proPO, SOA and SOD significantly increased in haemocyte after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, whereas MDA content did not change significantly. Among the ten immune‐related genes examined, only the mRNA expression of proPO, cMnSOD , haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, lipopolysaccharides (LPs), lectin and lysozyme in haemocytes, gill and hepatopancreas of L. vannamei , was significantly upregulated at 12 h after dsRNA‐VP28 treatment, while no significant expression changes were observed in Toll receptor and tumour receptor genes. The increase of proPO and SOD activities, and SOA level and mRNA expression level of proPO, cMnSOD , haemocyanin, crustin, BGBP, LPs, lectin and lysozyme after dsRNA‐VP28 stimulation indicate that these immune‐related genes were involved in dsRNA‐VP28‐induced innate immunity in shrimp.
