Tropical Cyclones and Their Regional Concentration: Why They Are Largely Confined to the South China Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Gulf of Mexico

Introduction Tropical cyclones are among the most powerful meteorological phenomena on Earth. Known by different names in different regions—hurricanes in the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, typhoons in the western Pacific and South China Sea, and cyclones in the Indian Ocean—they are characterized by intense low-pressure systems with spiraling winds, heavy rainfall, and destructive storm…

El Niño Effect and Its Role in Unusual Climatic Happenings: A Critical Evaluation

Introduction Climate variability is one of the most pressing concerns in contemporary meteorology and environmental science. Unusual weather events such as prolonged droughts, floods, cyclones, heatwaves, and cold spells often disrupt ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods. Among the various phenomena studied to explain such irregularities, the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO)—particularly its warm phase, El Niño—has…

Oceanic Salinity: Causes, Variations, and Multi-Dimensional Effects

Introduction Oceanic salinity refers to the concentration of dissolved salts, primarily sodium chloride (NaCl), in seawater. Salinity is usually expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or grams of salt per kilogram of seawater. On average, the world’s oceans have a salinity of about 35 ppt, but this value varies widely depending on geographic location, depth,…

El Niño and La Niña: Unraveling Their Global Impact on Weather, Agriculture, Water, and Coastal Regions

Introduction Earth’s climate system is a complex interaction of various atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial processes. Among the most influential natural climatic phenomena that disrupt this balance are El Niño and La Niña, collectively known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). These irregular periodic variations in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and wind patterns in the central…

Ocean Currents of the Northern Atlantic Ocean and Their Reasons of Origin

Introduction The Northern Atlantic Ocean is a vast and dynamic body of water characterized by complex ocean currents that play a crucial role in regulating global climate, marine ecosystems, and weather patterns. These currents influence navigation, fisheries, and coastal environments. Understanding their origins, movements, and impacts is essential for both scientific and economic purposes. This…

Tropical Cyclones: Origin, Movement, and Weakening Over Land

Introduction Tropical cyclones are powerful weather systems that develop over warm oceanic waters and significantly impact coastal and inland regions. These storms originate in tropical and subtropical regions, driven by oceanic and atmospheric conditions. However, as soon as they make landfall, they begin to weaken and eventually dissipate. This article explores the reasons behind the…
