ENGINEERING GEOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE SLOPE FAILURE ALONG THE KIMANIS TO KENINGAU HIGHWAY, SABAH, MALAYSIA [PDF]
Geological Behavior, 2018 The geology along the Kimanis to Keningau Highway provides a favourable setting for engineering geological instability. The area is underlain by the Crocker Formation (Late Eocene to Early Miocene age) to vary recent Quaternary alluvial materials which

The role of secondary cyclones and cyclone families for the North Atlantic storm track and clustering over western Europe [PDF]
, 2020 Secondary cyclones are those that form in association with a pre‐existing primary cyclone, typically along a trailing cold front. In previously studied cases they have been shown to cause extreme damage across Europe, particularly when multiple cyclones ...

On the interactions of vorticity, divergence and deformation in a meso-α-scale vortex
Meteorology and atmospheric physics (Print), 2019 Vorticity, divergence and deformation are three differentiation properties of the air flow. In this paper, by deriving the tendency equations of squared vorticity (SV), squared divergence (SD) and squared deformation (SE), it is found that the three ...

A thermally stable tension meter for atmospheric soundings using kites [PDF]
, 2010 Kites offer considerable potential as wind speed sensors—a role distinct from their traditional use as instrument-carrying platforms. In the sensor role, wind speed is measured by kite-line tension.

Seismometer Detection of Dust Devil Vortices by Ground Tilt [PDF]
, 2015 We report seismic signals on a desert playa caused by convective vortices and dust devils. The long-period (10-100s) signatures, with tilts of ~10$^{-7}$ radians, are correlated with the presence of vortices, detected with nearby sensors as sharp ...

Geodetic Constraints on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Present-Day Geophysical Processes
Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2011 The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is the largest and the highest area in the world with distinct and competing surface and subsurface processes. The entire Plateau has been undergoing crustal deformation and accompanying isostatic uplift as a result of the ...

The Caspian Sea level forced by the atmospheric circulation, as observed and modelled [PDF]
, 2007 The Caspian Sea Level (CSL) has experienced large fluctuations with wide-reaching impacts on the population on the coastal regions and on the economy. The CSL variability is dominated by the variability of precipitation over the Volga River basin.
