Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY ZONATION MODEL ON JENEBERANG WATERSHED BASED ON GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM AND ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS [PDF]

, 2008
The area of Jeneberang Watershed is prone to landslides due to geologic, geomorphologic and rainfall characteristics of the region. In the year 2004 the huge caldera wall collapsed in the Eastern part of the watershed area resulting in infrastructure ...

Precipitation Microphysics Over the Headwaters of the Tarim River Basin: A Striking North‐South Contrast Revealed by a Decade of GPM/DPR Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The headwater regions of the Tarim River Basin (TRB), Asia's vital “water towers,” are critical for the ecological stability of arid Northwest China, yet a systematic understanding of their diverse precipitation microphysics remains elusive.

Characteristics and Trends in Short‐Duration Heavy Rain in Wet‐Season in Hong Kong

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 7, 15 June 2026.
This study examines the characteristics of heavy rain events (hourly rainfall ≥ 30 mm) in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2024. A statistically significant increasing trend in short‐duration (1–3 h) heavy rain events (3.4 events per decade) in the wet season is observed, primarily due to other mechanisms rather than surface troughs or tropical cyclones. Notably,

Landslide Susceptibility Assessment in Hong Kong with Consideration of Spatio-Temporal Consistency

Applied Sciences
Landslide susceptibility is crucial for assessing the probability and severity of landslide disasters in a region. Previous studies have focused on static landslide susceptibility, using landslide assessment factor data from varying years, making it ...

Qualitative Landslide Susceptibility Assessment in Small Areas

Procedia Engineering, 2016
AbstractThe paper shows the application of heuristic methods to assess qualitatively the landslides susceptibility of an area located at the end of the flowslides path. Numerical analyses have been performed to study the flowslide propagation phase and landslides susceptibility maps of the studied area have been obtained.

Fish Farmers' Perceptions and Interest in Aquaculture Insurance as a Resilience Tool Against Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study of Cyclone Freddy in Southern Malawi

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the major threats to global food production systems, with aquaculture being particularly vulnerable. Despite the widespread use of insurance as a coping mechanism for natural disasters, its adoption in aquaculture remains minimal and often undocumented in developing countries.
