The role of secondary cyclones and cyclone families for the North Atlantic storm track and clustering over western Europe [PDF]
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 ...

Shear failure of building floor beams due to December 7, 2016 Pidie Jaya earthquake
The 6.5 Mw magnitude earthquake experienced in Pidie Jaya Regency on December 7, 2016 caused the failure of several structures including the District Attorney’s Building with almost all the beams on the first floor observed to have shear cracks.

Seismometer Detection of Dust Devil Vortices by Ground Tilt [PDF]
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 ...

A thermally stable tension meter for atmospheric soundings using kites [PDF]
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.

Effects of Planetary Wave-breaking on the Seasonal Variation of Total Column Ozone [PDF]
The effects of planetary wave breaking on the seasonal variation of total column ozone are investigated using a zonally averaged chemical-radiative-transport model of the atmosphere.

Geodetic Constraints on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Present-Day Geophysical Processes
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 ...

Atmospheric Circulation and Tides of "51Peg b-like" Planets [PDF]
We examine the properties of the atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets at orbital distances smaller than 0.1 AU from their stars. We show that these ``51Peg b-like'' planets are rapidly synchronized by tidal interactions, but that small departures from

The Caspian Sea level forced by the atmospheric circulation, as observed and modelled [PDF]
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.
