Global warming means that, like El Niño, the Indian Ocean dipole has
become more extreme over recent years,” Marchant says.
Like El Niño,
the dipole is an important influence on weather across a wide region,” Marchant told Climate News Network.
Dr Robert Marchant, reader in tropical ecosystems at the University of York,
UK, has made an extensive study of the dipole- first identified by a team of Japanese researchers in the late 1990s.
Professor Gary Marchant, Executive Director of the Center for Law,
Science + Innovation at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, will deliver a keynote speech on Tuesday, March 30, at a national nanotechnology conference in Arlington, Va.
