Morphological Response of Coral Reef Islands to the 2019 Extreme Positive Indian Ocean Dipole Event
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Matheen, N. and Kench, P.S., 2024. Morphological response of coral reef islands to the 2019 extreme positive Indian Ocean Dipole event. Journal of Coastal Research, 40(2), 246–256. Charlotte (North Carolina), ISSN 0749-0208. The influence of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) on winds, waves, and water levels has been studied in considerable detail, but the effect of these anomalous IOD-induced metocean conditions on coastal zones has so far received limited attention. This study analyses the impact of IOD events on the morphological response of coral reef islands by undertaking a case study of five islands in the Maldivian archipelago during the 2019 extreme positive IOD (pIOD) event. A 6-year dataset of shorelines before, during, and after the pIOD event was analysed to establish the magnitude of year-on-year variability and seasonal oscillation trends in the shorelines and thereby identify variability induced by the pIOD event. The results indicate a departure in the shorelines beyond the magnitude of the year-on-year variability during the mature phase of the pIOD event (September–November 2019) and a substantial change in the morphodynamics of the shoreline in the months immediately following the end of the pIOD event (November 2019–April 2020). It was identified that the anomalous metocean conditions during the pIOD event caused a change in the seasonally oscillating shoreline buffer around the island, with potential implications on medium-term island change and overall stability for the vegetated island core. The results showed that it took up to 2 years after the end of the pIOD event for the shorelines to return to their pre-pIOD state.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
