Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)
- It is also referred to as the Indian Niño, is a condition when the SST of the western region of Indian Ocean alternately becomes abnormally colder and then abnormally hotter than the eastern region.
- The Indian Niño can neutralise or worsen the impact of El Niño/La Niña depending on which phase it is in.
- A ‘positive’ IOD phase, which means higher-than-usual temperatures in the western Indian Ocean, brings more rain to India than the ‘neutral’ or ‘negative’ (cooling) phase.

METHANOTROPHS
Scientists at Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune, an autonomous institute under the Department of Science & Technology, have isolated 45 different strains of methanotrophic bacteria which have been found to be capable of reducing methane emissions from rice plants.
About:
Methanotrophs metabolise and convert methane into carbon-di-oxide. In rice fields, methanotrophs are active near the roots or soil-water interfaces.
They can effectively reduce the emission of methane, which is the second most important greenhouse gas (GHG) and 26 times more potent as compared to carbon-di-oxide.
Rice fields are human-made wetlands and are waterlogged for a considerable period. Anaerobic degradation of organic matter results in the generation of methane. Rice fields contribute to nearly 10% of global methane emissions.
Bio-methane generated from waste can also be used by the methanotrophs and can be converted to value-added products such as single-cell proteins, carotenoids, biodiesel, and so on.
