Now at - the lakeside building (E352) - Roxy Koll from the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (Pune) gives the Devendra Lal Memorial Medal lecture on his Indian Ocean/monsoon research.

Roxy Koll (twitter.com/rocksea) now focuses on how ongoing Indo-Pacific warming is “warping” the Madden-Julien Oscillation () & modifying global rainfall patterns.

Koll (now focusing on marine heatwaves): We are now observing unprecedented open ocean temperatures in the Bay of Bengal of 32-34°C! Wow 🥵! These warm temperatures fuel cyclones - which in turn can cause sustained (both cool & extreme warm) temperature anomalies over land, associated with stronger updraft.

Koll ends his talk with the quote: “We don’t inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
