We report a conference to discuss the mental health response to the recent tsunami disaster that struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004. The conference was convened in Jakarta on 3–5 February 2005 and was organised by the Indonesian Society for Biological Psychiatry and chaired by Dr Yul Iskandar. The meeting brought together the Asian psychiatrists who helped out in the disaster zones in Aceh and Meulaboh (Indonesia), Penang (Malaysia) and Phuket (Thailand). The experiences shared by these psychiatrists have important implications for the future training of psychiatrists, especially those from developing countries.

<p>The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) is one of the dominant modes of variability of the tropical Indian Ocean and it has been suggested to have a crucial role in the teleconnection between the Indian summer monsoon and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The main ideas at the base of the influence of the IOD on the ENSO-monsoon teleconnection include the possibility that it may strengthen summer rainfall over India, as well as the opposite, and also that it may produce a remote forcing on ENSO itself. The Indian Ocean has been experiencing a warming, larger than any other basins, since the 1950s. During these decades, the summer monsoon rainfall over India decreased and the frequency of Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events increased. In the future the IOD is projected to further increase in frequency and amplitude with mean conditions mimicking the characteristics of its positive phase. Still, state of the art global climate models have large biases in representing IOD and monsoon mean state and variability, with potential consequences for properties and related teleconnections projected in the future. This works collects a review study of the influence of the IOD on the ISM and its relationship with ENSO, as well as new results on IOD projections comparing CMIP5 and CMIP6 models.</p>
