Description
- I'm undertaking a Marine Institute-funded project Future ISLA project (future projection of atmospheric and oceanic impacts on sea level at Arctic and near Arctic coastlines). The project will focus on Ireland-Arctic teleconnections and advance the state of the art of 1) mid-latitude climate (atmospheric and oceanic) drivers of Arctic environmental change and 2) understand the future coastal vulnerability resulting from global climate change.

This review study examines the state of meteorological drought over Africa, focusing on historical trends, impacts, mitigation strategies, and future prospects. Relevant meteorological drought-related articles were systematically sourced from credible bibliographic databases covering African subregions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries (i...
The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is one of the most important components of large-scale tropical atmospheric circulations. The PWC and its influences have been studied extensively by numerical models and reanalysis. The newly released ERA5 and NCEP2 are the most widely used reanalysis datasets and serve as benchmarks for evaluation of model sim...
The structure of the equatorial atmospheric circulation, as defined by the zonal mass streamfunction (ZMS), computed using the new fifth-generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather (ERA-5) and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction NCEP–US Department of Energy reanalysis (NCEP-2) reanalysis products, is investigated an...
Studies on the variability in ocean wave climate provide engineers and policy makers with information to plan, develop, and control coastal and offshore activities. Ocean waves bear climatic imprints through which the global climate system can be better understood. Using the recently updated ERA5 dataset, this study evaluated the spatiotemporal dis...
Nigeria's growing population faces an increasing heat burden with potential health risks. The Universal Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI) links outdoor conditions and human well-being but lacks comprehensive insitu data in developing regions like Nigeria. ERA5-HEAT reanalysis offers a solution with gridded UTCI and MRT data, but validation is crucial. T...
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a crucial mechanism of poleward heat transport in the ocean and climate system. It plays a vital role in the redistribution of heat and carbon in the Northern Hemisphere. Its state is linked to a number of physical factors, including sea level. Along the eastern seaboard of North America, on...
Notable dryland expansion from changes in global aridity has been documented in previous studies, particularly with the increase in global mean temperature. Here, we examined the changes in the aridity of the western region of Africa over the past four decades. Using the aridity index (P/PET) as an indicator, the Climate Research Unit (CRU TS) data...
The impact of climate extremes on the society has been of great concern to environmental scientist and policy makers. The destructive consequence attributed to natural hazards associated with climates extremes has been estimated to billions of dollars across the globe. To carry out a robust and effective researches that help to minimize or prevent...
The progressive nature of urbanization plays a prominent role
in land–atmosphere processes, which have corresponding
impacts on the general environment. This research
investigated the changing patterns of the land use land cover
over Osogbo and its environs using remote sensing data
obtained from Landsat TM, ETM+ and OLI/TIRS sensors.
The changes i...
Rainout and washout deposition are important features of dust investiagtion in the West Africa region. In this work, International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Regional climate model version 4 (RegCM4.6) was employed to simulate seasonal cycle of dust deposition in the West africa region with special focus on Sahara dust storm during 2005...
The moderate resolution imaging spectro-radiometer (MODIS, Terra and Aqua) and ozone monitoring instruments (OMI) were used to investigate the spatio-temporal variations of aerosols over Nigeria. The cloud aerosol lidar and Infared Pathfinder satelite observations (CALIPSO) were used for cloud aerosol classification in order to show aerosol concent...
This research aims to determine the temperature extremes for Ikeja (Lagos), Osogbo (Osun) and Maiduguri (Borno), Nigeria, West Africa using Statistica analytical tool. Thirty (30) years daily maximum and minimum temperature data for Lagos, Osogbo and Maiduguri used for this study were collected from Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), Oshodi, Ni...

This article investigates spatio-temporal trends for different return periods of extreme significant wave height (SWH) in the Gulf of Guinea (GG), northeastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, based on a 37-year (1980–2016) wave hindcast. High-resolution reanalysis windfield datasets were used to force the spectral wave model WAVEWATCH III. The wave hindca...
This study presents results from an investigation of wave energy resources over the mid-Atlantic by using the significant wave height and mean wave period (T_m) data spanning a 37 year (1980–2016) period and derived from the analysis of wave climate predictions generated by the WAVEWATCH-III wind-wave model. The spatiotemporal variations of the wav...
The ancient city of Ibadan has experienced major development and this development has led to modifications of the land surface over the years. This study assessed the changes that have occurred in the Land Use Land Cover (LULC) of Ibadan city using satellite image from Landsat covering 1984, 2000 and 2016. Supervised classification scheme was done...
This work utilized a 37-year (1980–2016) 10 m wind field dataset got from the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) to examine the wind energy potential in the mid-Atlantic by using the Weibull parameters. The region generally showed a fairly good wind characteristics. The computed annual average wind power (170.23 w/m2) attribu...
The city of Akure has experienced massive growth in population over the past 30 years. The increased
population has brought about modification in the land use and land cover leading to expansion in the urban area.
This expansion has implications on the local climate of the area. This paper evaluates the urban expansion and its
impact on Land Surfac...
This study aims at analyzing the influence of rainfall and temperature on Total Column Ozone
(TCO) over West Africa. It provides adequate information on the spatial variability of total column
ozone concentration, temperature distribution across latitudinal zones, monthly distribution and
inter-annual variability of total ozone column and inter-rel...
This study presents the analysis of rainfall and temperature across the climatic zones in Nigeria. Data from ten Global Circulation Models (GCM) regridded to a 1° x 1° spatial resolution was used in this study. Model evaluation was carried out for the models using ground observed data from Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET). Based on the compar...

Hello,
Can someone share with me, if there is any relationship between the surface air pressure and sea level pressure, I mean mathematical relationship. I need sea level pressure (SLP)data but I have surface air pressure (SP), is there any way of converting SP to SLP?
Thank you in anticipation.
Hi,
I want to calculate the zonal mass stream function using Matlab. I want to integrate the average meridional divergent zonal wind from the top to the pressure level to the surface. Can you share some hints on how to go about it?.
Thank you.
Warm regards
One of the greatness challenges that a young and upcoming researcher face is plagiarism, am sure that a number of us suffered bountiful rejection due to plagiarism. Can you just share your view on how to reduce plagiarism to the minimum level accepted by Journal Publishers?
Warm regard
Recently, one of my manuscript was rejected unknown to me without my consent the publisher transfer my manuscript to another Journal though that is amazingly interesting but I want to be sure that this is not only particular to me. Do you have similar experience(s)? Was your paper finally published by the new Journal?
I await your response.
Warm regard.
