In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved
by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy …

Present-day sea-level rise is a major indicator of climate change 1 . Since the early 1990s,
sea level rose at a mean rate of ∼3.1 mm yr −1 (refs 2 , 3 ). However, over the last decade a …

This study provides an overview of the various components of the global mean sea level
evolution over two time spans: (1) 2005–2012 (corresponding to the full deployment of the Argo …

We revisit the global mean sea level (GMSL) budget during the whole altimetry era (January
1993 to December 2015) using a large number of data sets. The budget approach allows …

… quantity (called SSH) is simply the difference between the height H of the satellite above
the reference ellipsoid and the altimeter range R: SSH = HR. H is computed through precise …

Evaluating global mean sea level (GMSL) in terms of its components—mass and steric—is
useful for both quantifying the accuracy of the measurements and understanding the …

Background The mosquito Ae. albopictus is usually adapted to the peri-domestic environment
and typically breeds outdoors. However, we observed its larvae in most containers within …

… hatched in deionized water and the eclosed larvae were reared following Dieng et al. (2002). …
After a 24-h oviposition period, the numbers of eggs laid in each cup were counted and …

… Mosquitoes were maintained at 24–26C, 60–80% rh and LD 12 : 10 h (2 h dusk). Larvae
were reared in trays, and fed daily with a mixture of dried mouse pellets and yeast. Adults were …

Objective To investigate the prevalence of container breeding mosquitoes with emphasis on
the seasonality and larval habitats of Aedes aegypti (Ae. aegypti) in Makkah City, adjoining …
