Association of exposure to extreme rainfall events with cause-specific mortality in North Carolina, US

Environmental Research Letters
Extreme rainfall events could influence human health. However, the associations between extreme rainfall events and mortality remain rarely explored. Here, we conducted a time-series study using county-level mortality data in North Carolina during 2015 ...

Extreme Rainfall Events in Lund 1979–1980

Hydrology Research, 1981
All raingauge measurements give only one-point values. Since the practical applications of rain data always deal with areal measures, the knowledge of areal distribution of rain is very important for correct evaluation of the rain volumes. Two types of rainfall input data are generally used: design rainfall hyetographs and long historical rainfall ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
