The genesis of tropical cyclone Nargis (2008): Environmental modulation and numerical predictability
W YanaseH TaniguchiM Satoh
Tropical cyclone Nargis, generated over the Bay of Bengal in late April 2008, caused catastrophic destruction after making landfall in Myanmar. Here, ...
Simulation of storm surges along Myanmar coast using a location specific numerical model
I JainP ChittibabuN AgnihotriSK DubePC Sinha
Coastal flooding induced by storm surges associated with tropical cyclones is one of the greatest natural hazards sometimes even surpassing earthquake...
Temporal-spatial characteristics of severe drought events and their impact on agriculture on a global scale
Wang, Q.Wu, J.Lei, T.He, B.Wu, Z.Liu, M.Mo, X.Geng, G.Li, X.Zhou, H.Liu, D.
To identify the world's severely drought-prone areas, given that the corresponding ground area for a 0.5-degree grid in different latitudes is differe...
Until recently, drought events were inconsistently recorded in EM-DAT. Problems included inconsistent establishment of start and end dates, misattribu...

Myanmar, formerly Burma, is vulnerable to several natural hazards, such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, tsunamis and landslides. The present study f...
Track prediction of very severe cyclone 'Nargis' using high resolution weather research forecasting (WRF) model
DR PattanaikYV Rama Rao
The recent very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS) ‘Nargis’ over the Bay of Bengal caused widespread destruction over Myanmar after hitting the coast on...
Changes in drought risk over the contiguous United States (1901–2012): The influence of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans
Kam, J.Sheffield, J.Wood, E. F.
We assess uncertainties in the influence of sea surface temperatures on annual meteorological droughts over the contiguous U.S. within a Bayesian appr...
The origin of tropical cyclones in the South China Sea is over a vast deep sea, southeast of the Philippines. The severe tropical cyclones in summer w...
An analysis of Typhoon Chanthu in June 2004 with focus on the impact on Thailand
WangwongchaiAngkoolSixiong ZhaoQingcun Zeng
In this paper, the influence of Typhoon Chanthu on Thailand during June 2004 was studied. Several major features have been revealed. (1) Chanthu forme...
The Millennium Drought in southeast Australia (2001–2009): Natural and human causes and implications for water resources, ecosystems, economy, and society
van Dijk, A. I. J. M.Beck, H. E.Crosbie, R. S.de Jeu, R. A. M.Liu, Y. Y.Podger, G. M.Timbal, B.Viney, N. R.
The “Millennium Drought” (2001–2009) can be described as the worst drought on record for southeast Australia. Adaptation to future severe drough...
Severe droughts developed in the West and Southeast of the U.S. starting early in 2007. The development of the droughts is well monitored and predicte...
Influence of conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations sensitivity on typhoon track forecasts
Qin, XiaohaoMu Mu
This study investigates the influence on typhoon track forecasts by the Mesoscale Model5 and 3D-Var system of assimilating additional simulated dropso...
A conceptual model of drought characterization across the climatic spectrum is formulated. The model is particularly suited to subtropical and midlati...
The impact of climate change on global tropical cyclone damage
R. MendelsohnK. EmanuelS. ChonabayahiL. Bakkensen
One potential impact from greenhouse-gas emissions is increasing damage from extreme events. Here, we quantify how climate change may affect tropical ...
Systematic Variation of Summertime Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Western North Pacific in Relation to the Madden–Julian Oscillation
J. H. KimC. H. HoH. S. Kim
The variability of observed tropical cyclone (TC) activity (i.e., genesis, track, and landfall) in the western North Pacific (WNP) is examined in rela...
Monitoring agricultural drought for arid and humid regions using multi-sensor remote sensing data
Rhee, J.Im, J.Carbone, G. J.
While existing remote sensing-based drought indices have characterized drought conditions in arid regions successfully, their use in humid regions is ...
Widespread crown condition decline, food web disruption, and amplified tree mortality with increased climate change-type drought
Carnicer, J.Coll, M.Ninyerola, M.Pons, X.Sanchez, G.Penuelas, J.
Climate change is progressively increasing severe drought events in the Northern Hemisphere, causing regional tree die-off events and contributing to ...
Drought chokes ecosystems, strangles economies, and threatens human health [Wilhite, 2005]. In the United States, drought has recently forced states, ...
Heavy rainfall (480 mm) on 16 July 2015 triggered a huge landslide (DGSE and GDKU, 2016) that dammed the Tui Lam Lui River approximately 52 km upstrea...
