Seasonal prediction of the Indian monsoon

Under the project `Seasonal Prediction of the Indian Monsoon' (SPIM), the prediction of Indian summer monsoon rainfall by five atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs) during 1985-2004 was assessed. The project was a collaborative effort of the coordinators and scientists from the different modelling groups across the country. All the runs were made at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) at Bangalore on the PARAM Padma supercomputing system. Two sets of simulations were made for this purpose. In the first set, the AGCMs were forced by the observed sea surface temperature (SST) for May-September during 1985-2004. In the second set, runs were made for 1987, 1988, 1994, 1997 and 2002 forced by SST which was obtained by assuming that the April anomalies persist during May-September. The results of the first set of runs show, as expected from earlier studies, that none of the models were able to simulate the correct sign of the anomaly of the Indian summer monsoon rainfall for all the years. However, among the five models, one simulated the correct sign in the largest number of years and the second model showed maximum skill in the simulation of the extremes (i.e. droughts or excess rainfall years). The first set of runs showed some common bias which could arise either from an excessive sensitivity of the models to El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or an inability of the models to simulate the link of the Indian monsoon rainfall to Equatorial Indian Ocean Oscillation (EQUINOO), or both. Analysis of the second set of runs showed that with a weaker ENSO forcing, some models could simulate the link with EQUINOO, suggesting that the errors in the monsoon simulations with observed SST by these models could be attributed to unrealistically high sensitivity to ENSO.

Molecular and serological studies on the recent seal virus epizootics in Europe and Siberia

The virus epizootics which occurred in seals in both Europe and Siberia during 1987/1988 were caused by two different morbillivirus, referred to as phocid distemper virus (PDV) 1 and 2, respectively. Molecular and serological studies have shown that the European virus is quite distinct from canine distemper virus (CDV), its closest relative in the morbillivirus group. Analysis of tissues obtained from infected seals from a wide geographical distrubution over Northern Europe showed that the infectious agent (PDV 1) was identical in all cases. Nucleotide sequence analysis of one of the virus genes suggested that this virus has evolved away from CDV over a long time period and is most probably an enzootic virus of marine mammals. In contrast, the virus (PDV 2) which caused the deaths of many Siberian seals was indistinguishable, both serologically and at the molecular level, from CDV and must have originated from a land source.

Prevalencia de Cysticercus bovis en la carne procedente de dos mataderos industriales de ganado bovino

En el presente trabajo se analizó la situación existente con respecto a la cysticercosis bovina, en las empresas: San Martín, ubicada en el km 67 1/2, carretera panamericana, (Nandaime) y Alfonso González P. ubicada en el Km 16 1/2 carretera nueva a León, (Los Brasiles) siendo únicamente para consumo local. Con los datos recabados se evaluaron los porcentajes de infestación de los años 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991 para el matadero San Martín y 1989, 1990, 1991 para el matadero Alfonso González P., además se determinó la infestación por categorías para ambos mataderos, el departamento con mayor prevalencia en ambos mataderos y las pérdidas económicas, en ambas empresas. El análisis estadístico fue el de Ji- cuadrado (X 2) para lo cual se usó el procedimiento catmod del paquete statistical analysis system. (SAS). Los resultados obtenidos en el análisis de varianza, demuestran que existe diferencias significativa entre mataderos y a 10 largo de los años con un nivel de significancia de (p<0.05) obteniéndose 1.90% de infestación global para los años en estudio, siendo para et matadero San Martín 2.78% de infestación y para el matadero Alfonso González P. 1.12% de infestación, así como existe diferencia significativa para las diferentes categorías (p<0.05), siendo la categoría vaca (CJ) la más afectada para el matadero. San Martín y en el matadero Alfonso González P. la categoría toro (C2); Rivas resultó ser el departamento con el mayor número de animales parasitados seguido de Boaco, Chontales y Granada para el matadero San Martín y para el matadero Alfonso González P., Megasa resultó ser quien obtuvo el mayor número de animales parasitados seguido por la Subasta, Chontales y Matagalpa. Las pérdidas económicas revelan cifras aproximadas de U $ 283,932 para los productores en ambos mataderos, adicionando a esto las divisas no captadas de U$ 689,144.34 por disminución de las exportaciones.

Estudios preliminares para determinar las causas que provocan la mancha verde en los tabacos negros (Nicotiana tabacum L.) en la región I

Durante el periodo comprendido entre 1986 y 1990 se realizaron seis trabajos de investigación en el tabaco negro (Nicotiana. ta.ba.cum L.) variedad S-98, con el objetivo de estudiar las causas que provocan la mancha verde. El estudio se inició en el ciclo 1986-1987 con tres trabajos simultáneos ubicados en Esteli y Jalapa, uno a nivel de macetera para determinar el efecto en términos seneralea del suelo, agua y medio ambiente. Otro a nivel de campo realizado en tres fincas de Esteli y tres de Jalapa donde se analizaron loe elementos minerales, lo que incluyó análisis de macro micronutrientea del suelo y hojas, análisis de calidad del agua y agroquimicos. El tercero consistió en un análisis de residuos de plaguicidas en el suelo y agua que descartara la posibilidad de un efecto fitotóxico en las plantas de tabáco. Como resultado de estos trabajos se descartó el suelo y el agua como un factor que incidiera en la mancha verde; pero si se observó una relación entre la cantidad de polvo aplicado, su frecuencia y el porciento de afectación, por lo que se decidió evaluar en el siguiente ciclo (1987-1988) la influencia de tres tratamientos en polvo (zineb, propineb y bentonita) con diferente número de aplicaciones (2, 4, 8 y 12). Los resultados indicaron que las parcelas tratadas con bentonita presentaron los mayores porcentajes de hojas con síntomas de mancha verde y que esto se relacionaba con la cantidad de producto aplicado. No obstante, producto de la disposición, tamaño de las parcelas y dificultades de la aplicación, se pudo apreciar que existió movimiento de producto de una parcela a otra. Por este motivo se programó otro experimento bajo condiciones de aislamiento. El ensayo se estableció a nivel de macetera en el Centro Experimental de Estelí para determinar en condiciones de aplicación controlada el efecto de la bentonita y su número de aplicaciones en polvo (4, 12 y aplicación a hojas individuales) en la incidencia de la mancha verde. Todos los tratamientos presentaron mancha verde, incluyendo el testigo, lo que descarta la posibilidad de que la bentonita sea la causante de la mancha verde, pues ésta aparece o no en hojas tratadas y simultáneamente en hojas no tratadas en una misma planta. Algunas observaciones de técnicos involucrados en la producción de tabaco indican que el porcentaje de afectación aumenta a medida que el período de deshidratación se prolonga, por lo que se planificó en el ciclo 1989-1990 un trabajo de investigación para determinar el efecto del periodo de deshidratación en la incidencia de la mancha verde. Se estudió de 1 a 8 dias de deshidratación. En el corte 3 en dos fincas seleccionadas de Esteli y Jalapa. La severidad de la mancha verde se vió influenciada por el periodo de deshidratación, disminuyendo ésta si reducimos los dias de deshidratación.

Egg production, spawning biomass and factors influencing recruitment of striped bass in the Potomac River and the upper Chesapeake Bay

Ichthyoplankton surveys in the Potomac River and Upper Chesapeake Bay were carried out in 1989 to estimate striped bass egg productions, age specific spawning biomasses of adult females, cohort-specific larval growth and mortality rates, and hatch dates of 8.0 mm larvae survivors. Possible consequences to recruitment of environmental factors were examined in 1989 and for data collected in 1987-1988. The temporal and spatial occurrences and distributions of eggs and larvae In both spawning areas are described and discussed in relation to environmental factors (temperature, rainfall, river discharge, pH, conductivity, zooplankton abundances) (PDF contains 319 pages)

Morphometrics and testicle size of rain forest lemur species from southeastern Madagascar

Six species of prosimians inhabiting the montane rain forest of the Ranomafana National Park located in southeastern Madagascar were captured, weighed, and measured during the months of May or June of 1987, 1988, and 1989. There were no significant differences in body weights and measurements between male and femaleEulemur rubriventer (red-bellied lemur) orEulemur fulvus rufus (red-fronted lemur). Adult femalePropithecus diadema edwardsi (Milne Edward's sifaka) were heavier than males but the difference was not significant. A fewAvahi laniger laniger (woolly lemur),Hapalemur aureus (golden bamboo lemur) andH. g. griseus (gentle bamboo lemur) also were captured and measured. Body weights of the same individual adultP. d. edwardsi changed over the three years, suggesting variation in food availability. Although there was no difference in body weight among adult males of two groups ofP. d. edwardsi, one male in each group had a testicular volume four times larger than that of other males, even though these measurements were taken five months after the breeding season. These data suggest that only one adult male mates in each group. Testicular size of the polygynousE. f. rufus males was significantly larger than that of the monogamousE. rubriventer. © 1992 Academic Press Limited.

Long-Term Oceanographic and Ecological Research in the Western English Channel

Long-term research in the western English Channel, undertaken by the marine laboratories in Plymouth, is described and details of survey methods, sites, and time series given in this chapter. Major findings are summarized and their limitations outlined. Current research, with recent reestablishment and expansion of many sampling programmes, is presented, and possible future approaches are indicated. These unique long-term data sets provide an environmental baseline for predicting complex ecological responses to local, regional, and global environmental change. Between 1888 and the present, investigations have been carried out into the physical, chemical, and biological components (ranging from plankton and fish to benthic and intertidal assemblages) of the western English Channel ecosystem. The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom has performed the main body of these observations. More recent contributions come from the Continuous Plankton Recorder Survey, now the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science, dating from 1957; the Institute for Marine Environmental Research, from 1974 to 1987; and the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, which was formed by amalgamation of the Institute for Marine Environmental Research and part of the Marine Biological Association, from 1988. Together, these contributions constitute a unique data series; one of the longest and most comprehensive samplings of environmental and marine biological variables in the world. Since the termination of many of these time series in 1987-1988 during a reorganisation of UK marine research, there has been a resurgence of interest in long-term environmental change. Many programmes have been restarted and expanded with support from several agencies. The observations span significant periods of warming (1921-1961; 1985-present) and cooling (1962-1980). During these periods of change, the abundance of key species underwent dramatic shifts. The first period of warming saw changes in zooplankton, pelagic fish, and larval fish, including the collapse of an important herring fishery. During later periods of change, shifts in species abundances have been reflected in other assemblages, such as the intertidal zone and the benthic fauna. Many of these changes appear to be related to climate, manifested as temperature changes, acting directly or indirectly. The hypothesis that climate is a forcing factor is widely supported today and has been reinforced by recent studies that show responses of marine organisms to climatic attributes such as the strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation. The long-term data also yield important insights into the effects of anthropogenic disturbances such as fisheries exploitation and pollution. Comparison of demersal fish hauls over time highlights fisheries effects not only on commercially important species but also on the entire demersal community. The effects of acute ("Torrey Canyon" oil spill) and chronic (tributyltin [TBT] antifoulants) pollution are clearly seen in the intertidal records. Significant advances in diverse scientific disciplines have been generated from research undertaken alongside the long-term data series.
