Climate Change and the Future Impacts of Storm-Surge Disasters in Developing Countries [PDF]

As the climate changes during the 21st century, larger cyclonic storm surges and growing populations may collide in disasters of unprecedented size. As conditions worsen, variations in coastal morphology will magnify the effects in some areas, while ...

Post‐Shaping Over‐Impregnation: A Facile Strategy for Pt‐KL Catalysts With Ultrahigh Metal Dispersion and Enhanced Aromatization Performance

Carbon and Hydrogen, EarlyView.
A scalable post‐shaping strategy achieves precise Pt localization within KL zeolite, where optimized spatial distribution minimizes diffusion barriers to deliver superior n‐hexane aromatization activity, selectivity, and stability. ABSTRACT The precise localization of metal clusters within zeolite frameworks is critical for the aromatization catalysis.

COMPUTATION OF STORM SURGE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1970
From knowledge of wind resistance coefficients measured over the sea, it is possible to compute the shear stress of a wind field on its surface Where a body of water is relatively shallow, such a shear stress will transport water to the downwind end and so create a high water level or surge Graphs are presented for ready application of the relevant ...

Three-Dimensional Storm Surge Computations [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 1974
Summary The method for three-dimensional storm surge computation proposed by Heaps is modified by removing the bottom frictional stress from the vertical eigenfunction expansion. The stress is applied externally on each vertical column of fluid. Calculations on a simplified model show that the technique does not alter the response of the sea from ...

Heightened hurricane surge risk in northwest Florida revealed from climatological-hydrodynamic modeling and paleorecord reconstruction [PDF]

, 2014
Historical tropical cyclone (TC) and storm surge records are often too limited to quantify the risk to local populations. Paleohurricane sediment records uncover long-term TC activity, but interpreting these records can be difficult and can introduce ...

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

Using Satellite Altimetry to Calibrate the Simulation of Typhoon Seth Storm Surge off Southeast China

Remote Sensing, 2018
Satellite altimeters can capture storm surges generated by typhoons and tropical storms, if the satellite flies over at the right time. In this study, we show TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter-observed storm surge features off Southeast China on 10 October 1994 ...
