What Causes Compound Wind and Precipitation Extremes Across the Indo-Pacific?
Co-occurrences of wind extremes and precipitation extremes, known as compound wind and precipitation extremes (CWPEs), can disrupt and endanger shipment and shipping logistics. The associated winds and floods may cause severe socio-economic impacts in c...Co-occurrences of wind extremes and precipitation extremes, known as compound wind and precipitation extremes (CWPEs), can disrupt and endanger shipment and shipping logistics.

Foxl2 and Dmrt1 Play Important Roles in Fish Sex Phenotype Formation
Study on fish sex differentiation is important both from academic and practical aspects, as sexual dimorphism is widespread in fish species. Forkhead transcription factor 2 (Foxl2) and doublesex and mab-3-related transcription factor 1 (Dmrt1) have been...Study on fish sex differentiation is important both from academic and practical aspects, as sexual dimorphism is widespread in fish species.

Quantifying Global Ocean Inhomogeneity and Exploring Its Evolution in Climate Change
The ocean is intrinsically inhomogeneous in temperature and salinity. This inhomogeneity fundamentally influences physical and biogeochemical processes of oceans, causing mixing of water masses, and shaping three-dimensional geostrophic circulations. Th...The ocean is intrinsically inhomogeneous in temperature and salinity.

Study Unveils Interannual Modulation of Subthermocline Eddy Kinetic Energy East of the Philippines
The region east of the Philippine coast has energetic mesoscale eddies and high eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the subsurface layer. These eddies play essential roles in the intraseasonal variation of western boundary currents and the northward intrusion ...The region east of the Philippine coast has energetic mesoscale eddies and high eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the subsurface layer.

Exploring Novel Slow-release Organic Copper Fungicides
Copper fungicides have been widely used for more than 150 years, which have the advantages of a wide sterilization spectrum, low cost and low drug resistance, but what cannot be ignored are their toxicity to plant growth and damage to the environment. T...Copper fungicides have been widely used for more than 150 years, which have the advantages of a wide sterilization spectrum, low cost and low drug resistance, but what cannot be ignored are their toxicity to plant growth and damage to the environment.
