A climate system in the Indian Ocean, known as the dipole, is behind extreme weather events in East Africa and Australia.

This year's Indian monsoon withdrawal is the latest on record, and this year's positive Indian Ocean Dipole is predicted to be the strongest on record. So what?

The research, led by Professor Nerilie Abram, analyzed the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and determined that the IOD played a significant role in the severe conditions seen in Australia this past year.

Last week the Bureau of Meteorology declared a negative Indian Ocean Dipole — a natural climate phenomenon set to bring wet weather. Let’s look at what you can expect, and the role of climate ...

That hard upper limit for the electron's electric dipole moment leads to a hard lower limit for the mass of any hypothetical particle with the right characteristics to cause an electric dipole moment.

The Indian Ocean Dipole may be El Nino’s less famous cousin, but that hasn’t stopped it having a profound effect on Australia’s weather since it flipped into a “strong negative phase ...

Bigger magnets aren’t always “stronger”. But how do you make a comparison between different magnets? One way is to determine the magnetic dipole moment of the magnet. Magnetic Dipole Moment ...

Measuring zero: scientists have lowered the previous upper limit of the neutron’s electric dipole moment by 40%. (Courtesy: IOP Publishing) For more than 60 years, physicists have been searching for a ...
