Analytical hierarchy process for landslide susceptibility mapping in lower Mae Chaem watershed, northern Thailand
Landslide hazard results in great loss of life and property. These damages can be mitigated if the cause and effect relationships of the events are known. In this study, we used an...
Initial maintenance of tropical cyclone size in the western North Pacific
A tropical cyclone (TC) size parameter, which is defined here as the radius of 15 m s-1 near-surface wind speed (R15), is calculated for 145 TCs in the western North Pacific during...
A New Global 0.5° Gridded Dataset (1901–2006) of a Multiscalar Drought Index: Comparison with Current Drought Index Datasets Based on the Palmer Drought Severity Index
A monthly global dataset of a multiscalar drought index is presented and compared in terms of spatial and temporal variability with the existing continental and global drought data...
Numerical simulation of Myanmar cyclone Nargis and the associated storm surge part II: ensemble prediction
A mesoscale ensemble prediction system (EPS) employing the Japan Meteorological Agency’s (JMA’s) high-resolution global analysis and forecast for initial and boundary In the en...
Numerical simulations of Myanmar cyclone Nargis and the associated storm surge Part I: Forecast experiment with a nonhydrostatic model and simulation of storm surge
Numerical simulations of the 2008 Myanmar cyclone Nargis and the associated storm surge were conducted using the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) Nonhydrostatic Model (NHM) and th...
Mesoscale data assimilation of Myanmar cyclone Nargis
A mesoscale data assimilation (DA) system was developed for low latitudes, and DA experiments for the tropical cyclone Nargis were conducted. A tropical cyclone bogus (TCB) procedu...
Environmental and external factors in the genesis of tropical cyclone Nargis in April 2008 over the Bay of Bengal
Tropical cyclone Nargis was generated over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) in late April 2008, and it devastated the coastal area of Myanmar. This study reveals the environmental and exter...
An Integrated Model Simulating the Initiation and Motion of Earthquake and Rain Induced Rapid Landslides and Its Application to the 2006 Leyte Landslide.
A gigantic rapid landslide claiming over 1,000 fatalities was triggered by rainfalls and a small nearby earthquake in the Leyte Island, Philippines in 2006. The disaster presented ...
Global peatland dynamics since the Last Glacial Maximum
[1] Here we present a new data synthesis of global peatland ages, area changes, and carbon (C) pool changes since the Last Glacial Maximum, along with a new peatland map and total...
Typhoon-induced extreme water levels near Singapore: a numerical model investigation
Due to the diminishing Coriolis force towards the equator, the equatorial zone is known to be cyclone-free. However, on 27th December 2001, a tropical cyclone Vamei was formed near...
