Global warming may make east-dominated Indian Ocean Dipole events 80% more frequent
Original: Global warming could make "east-dominated" Indian Ocean Dipole events 80% more frequent
New research finds global warming could cause 'east-dominated' Indian Ocean Dipole events to become 80% more frequent. These climate patterns, which shift sea surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean, strongly influence rainfall, droughts and flooding across East Africa, India and Australia. Scientists say the projected increase would raise the risk of extreme weather in vulnerable regions.
Why now: A new climate study warns of a sharp rise in a phenomenon that drives extreme weather for billions of people.
