Modulation of western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity by the ISO. Part II: Tracks and landfalls
This study investigates how tropical cyclone (TC) tracks and landfalls are modulated by the two major components of the intraseasonal oscillation (ISO), the 30–60-day Madden–Ju...
Critical role of northern off-equatorial sea surface temperature forcing associated with central Pacific El Niño in more frequent tropical cyclone movements toward East Asia
Observational records reveal that the number of tropical cyclones (TCs) approaching East Asia in July–October is positively correlated with sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the...
Inactive period of western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity in 1998–2011
Tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the western North Pacific (WNP) exhibits a significant interdecadal variation during 1960–2011, with two distinct active and inactive periods ...
Evaluation of diarrhea disease risk attributed to inundation water use on a local scale in Cambodia using hydrological model simulations
Diarrhea disease in Cambodia is caused mainly by regular seasonal flooding in the lower Mekong River basin. This study simulated diarrhea infectious disease risk attributed to inun...
Long-Term Soil Carbon Loss and Accumulation in a Catchment Following the Conversion of Forest to Arable Land in Northern Laos
Quantifying the magnitude of soil organic carbon loss linked to the conversion of forest to arable land in tropical environments requires long-term estimates of soil redistribution...
Permanent upper plate deformation in western Myanmar during the great 1762 earthquake: Implications for neotectonic behavior of the northern Sunda megathrust
The 1762 Arakan earthquake resulted from rupture of the northern Sunda megathrust and is one of those rare preinstrumental earthquakes for which early historical accounts document ...
Evaluation of TRMM 3B42 precipitation estimates of tropical cyclone rainfall using PACRAIN data
This study evaluates the latest release TRMM 3B42 version 7 (V7) estimates of daily rainfall in tropical cyclones (TCs) using the Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database (PACRAIN) ...
High level meeting on national drought policy (HMNDP) final declaration
Drought is widely recognized as a slow creeping natural hazard that occurs as a consequence of the natural climatic variability. In recent years, concern has grown world-wide that ...
Links between Indo-Pacific climate variability and drought in the Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas
Drought patterns across monsoon and temperate Asia over the period 1877–2005 are linked to Indo-Pacific climate variability associated with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENS...
Mesoscale modeling of smoke transport over the Southeast Asian Maritime Continent: Interplay of sea breeze, trade wind, typhoon, and topography
The online-coupled Weather Research and Forecasting model with Chemistry (WRFchem) is used to simulate the transport of smoke particles over the Southeast Asian Maritime Continent ...
Regional Prediction of Landslide Hazard Using Probability Analysis of Intense Rainfall in the Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam
The main objective of this study is to assess regional landslide hazards in the Hoa Binh province of Vietnam. A landslide inventory map was constructed from various sources with da...
The Millennium Drought in southeast Australia (2001–2009): Natural and human causes and implications for water resources, ecosystems, economy, and society
The “Millennium Drought” (2001–2009) can be described as the worst drought on record for southeast Australia. Adaptation to future severe droughts requires insight into the d...
Strengthening Landslide Awareness and Management in the Mountain Road Sector
Landslides pose a continuing and increasing threat to the management of rural infrastructure in many countries. In many parts of Asia this threat is compounded by limited resources...
A Comparative Study on the Predictive Ability of the Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine and Neuro-Fuzzy Models in Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using GIS
The purpose of the present study is to compare the prediction performances of three different approaches such as decision tree (DT), support vector machine (SVM) and adaptive neuro...
