Dependence of Model-Simulated Heavy Rainfall on the Horizontal Resolution during the Jakarta Flood Event in January-February 2007
Time-lagged ensemble downscaling experiments with Japan Meteorological Agency-Nonhydrostatic model are performed to study the dependence of heavy precipitation simulated by the mod...
Collaborative governance in international disasters: Nargis cyclone in Myanmar and Sichuan earthquake in China cases
Systemic problems have long prevailed and plagued the international disaster relief scene. Despite the reformatory efforts of the United Nations (UN), the international disaster ma...
Observations and modeling of cyclone Nargis storm surge in Myanmar
Tropical cyclone Nargis (Cat. 4) made landfall on May 2, 2008, causing the worst natural disaster in Myanmar's recorded history. Cyclone Nargis struck low-lying coastal plains part...
Regime shift of the early 1980s in the characteristics of the tropical cyclone affecting Korea
By performing a statistical change-point analysis of activities of the tropical cyclones (TCs) that have affected Korea (K-TCs), it was found that there was a significant change be...
Development of Early Warning System for Rainfall-Induced Landslide in Indonesia
A real-time monitoring for early warning of landslide has been developed in Banjarnegara Regency of Central Java, Indonesia. The fieldserver gathers the data from multiple sensors ...
Monitoring agricultural drought for arid and humid regions using multi-sensor remote sensing data
While existing remote sensing-based drought indices have characterized drought conditions in arid regions successfully, their use in humid regions is limited. We propose a new remo...
Widespread crown condition decline, food web disruption, and amplified tree mortality with increased climate change-type drought
Climate change is progressively increasing severe drought events in the Northern Hemisphere, causing regional tree die-off events and contributing to the global reduction of the ca...
Storm surge modelling with geographic information systems: estimating areas and population affected by cyclone Nargis
A methodology has been developed to model storm surges during cyclones, and to estimate affected areas and population with Geographical Information System (GIS). Surge profiles wer...
Modeling storm surges associated with super typhoon durian in South China Sea
Super typhoon Durian struck the central Philippines on November 30, 2006 and southern coast of Vietnam on December 5, 2006. The reported maximum wind exceeded 250 km/h, and the ce...
Assimilation of tropical cyclone track and structure based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF)
A new tropical cyclone vortex initialization method based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is proposed in this study. Three observed parameters that are related to the tropical...
Seasonal prediction of tropical cyclone activity near Taiwan using the Bayesian multivariate regression method
A Poisson generalized linear regression model cast within a Bayesian framework is applied to forecast the seasonal tropical cyclone (TC) counts in the vicinity of Taiwan. The TC se...
