Seasonal prediction of summertime tropical cyclone activity over the East China Sea using the least absolute deviation regression and the Poisson regression
In the present study, we have employed two statistical models to predict summertime (July–September) tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the East China Sea using the least absolu...
Human amplification of drought-induced biomass burning in Indonesia since 1960
Much of the interannual variability in global atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations has been attributed to variability of emissions from biomass burning1, 2, 3. Under drought c...

Ocean-atmosphere interactions during cyclone nargis
Cyclone Nargis (Figure 1a) made landfall in Myanmar (formerly Burma) on 2 May 2008 with sustained winds of approximately 210 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a category 3–4 hur...
Warm ocean anomaly, air sea fluxes, and the rapid intensification of tropical cyclone Nargis (2008)
On 2 May 2008, category-4 tropical cyclone Nargis devastated Myanmar. It was observed that just prior to its landfall, Nargis rapidly intensified from a weak category-1 storm to an...
The Large-Scale Landslide on the Flank of Caldera in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
An extraordinarily large-scale landslide with a volume of about 200 million m3, a width of about 1,600 m, and a height of about 750 m occurred on 2004 March 26, 13:45 local time,...
Temperature sensitivity of drought-induced tree mortality portends increased regional die-off under global-change-type drought
Large-scale biogeographical shifts in vegetation are predicted in response to the altered precipitation and temperature regimes associated with global climate change. Vegetation sh...
Agricultural Impact of Climate Change: A General Equilibrium Analysis with Special Reference to Southeast Asia
Study of effects of climate change on agricultural productivity in Southeast Asia. Capitalizing on the most recent worldwide estimates of the impacts of climate change on agricultu...
Singular Vector Structure and Evolution of a Recurving Tropical Cyclone
In this study, the structure and evolution of total energy singular vectors (SVs) of Typhoon Usagi (2007) are evaluated using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–N...
Future pattern of Asian drought under global warming scenario
This study investigates the effect of global warming on drought patterns over Asia at the end of the twenty-first century by a multi-model ensemble method based on daily precipitat...
The Extreme Cold Anomaly over Southeast Asia in February 2008: Roles of ISO and ENSO
A record-breaking, long-persisting extreme cold anomaly (ECA) over Southeast Asia, accompanied by an intraseasonal convection over the Maritime Continent, is identi?ed during the L...
Climate Change Vulnerability Mapping for Southeast Asia
This paper provides information on the sub-national areas (regions/districts/provinces) most vulnerable to climate change impacts in Southeast Asia. This assessment was carried out...
Climate change and drought: a risk assessment of crop-yield impacts
We assessed the drought risk for world crop production under current and future climatic conditions by using an integrated approach to analyze the correlation between historical cr...
Regional vulnerability of climate change impacts on Asian rice production and scope for adaptation
Rice is the principle staple crop of Asia and any deterioration of rice production systems through climate change would seriously impair food security in this continent. This revie...
