Climate Change, Flood Risk and Property Value: Assessment of vulnerability and equity in the Boston Metro Area [PDF]
, 2012 The general consensus is that global climate change will result in increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Coastal urban communities are likely to suffer more flood damages as a result of this change, with potential social justice ...

Dynamics and model representation of two contrasting extreme precipitation events in the Sahel
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Hovmöller diagrams of the two investigated extreme precipitation events in Mali are shown for (i) IMERG observations, and ICOsahedral Nonhydrostatic model (ICON) runs with parameterization of explicit convection (ii) enabled and (iii) disabled. This work highlights that the commonly perceived benefit of using explicit convection in a state‐of‐the‐art ...

The role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We use the Advanced Weather Research and Forecasting model to examine the role of soil moisture in the inland penetration of Indian monsoon low‐pressure systems (LPSs). We find that LPSs penetrate deeply into India despite a dry land surface; however, their inland penetration is adversely affected when there is a reduction in the total surface heat ...

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Short‐term extreme rainfall can be produced by the variation of low‐level warm moist airflow during mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) approaching another. The cold outflow of the rapidly moving MCS intensifies the warm moist airflow in front, enhancing the convergence and ascending motion in the quasi‐stationary MCS.

Flooding and Inundation Modeling in the Great Bay Estuary [PDF]
, 2017 As part of this research, FVCOM, a finite-volume coastal ocean numerical hydrodynamic model (Chen, et al., 2003), was implemented into the Great Bay estuary.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Digital networks are virtual representations of freshwater systems that provide important inputs to, and mapping of, river classifications, simulation models, and quantitative data analyses for policy, planning, and management. Strahler order has often been used to characterize network configuration and as a proxy indicator of river channel ...

Implications of climate change for coastal and inter-tidal habitats in the UK [PDF]
, 2013 Coastal habitats are diverse and vary in the extent to which they are shaped by physiographic processes, such as wave action, wind, tides and sediment availability, and the relative influence of terrestrial and marine environments, e.g.
