A study of major rainstorms of Assam
MAUSAM, 1970 More than 100 rainstorms of durations ranging from 2 to 7-day during the period 1901-1960 over the Brahmaputra catchment in Assam plains have been studied by the Isohyetal Method. Enveloping curves of maximam depths for various durations are presented and discussed in this paper. The synoptic situations associated with some of the heavy storms are also

The Catastrophic June 2002 Prairie Rainstorm [PDF]
Atmosphere-Ocean, 2011 A catastrophic rain event occurred in early June 2002 during a major drought over the Canadian Prairies. The storm brought record-breaking rainfall and major flooding to many locations in the region. Given the importance of this event, this study's overall objectives are to characterize and to understand the physical nature of the rainstorm better. The

‘From the Fields Into the Bars’: The Story of Israel's First Transgender Novel, The Cut (1977)
Gender &History, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 958-969, October 2026.ABSTRACT In 1977, an Israeli transgender woman, Judy Spotheim, published an autobiographical novel entitled The Cut. It describes the emergence of a trans community in the commercial‐sex areas of Tel Aviv‐Jaffa, hoping to humanise trans women (coccinelles). This article is the first to study the novel and present a biography of Spotheim.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract An unprecedented record‐breaking extreme hourly rainfall event (201.9 mm/hr) occurred on 20 July 2021, at the Zhengzhou Station, China. In previous studies, a meso‐γ $\gamma $‐scale convective storm is found to be the direct process causing the rainfall; also found is the impact of processes on other scales (synoptic‐ and meso‐scales), in ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Line‐shaped mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) frequently produce extreme rainfall and severe hydrological disasters in Japan. This study investigates the environmental controls on both rainfall intensity and spatial displacement associated with two line‐shaped MCS events over northern Japan using convection‐permitting ensemble simulations ...

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.Using a newly expanded debris‐flow inventory, we calibrate a new set of region‐specific logistic models for predicting the likelihood of, and rainfall thresholds for, runoff‐generated postfire debris flows. The updated models consistently outperform a previous model and can improve assessment of debris‐flow hazards for burned areas across the western ...
