Urban Flooding and Measures

Journal of Disaster Research, 2007
Urban flood disasters occur often worldwide, and Japan is no exception, as indicated by the 1999 Fukuoka flood. Urban floods result from changes in the urban environment influenced by the specific features of the city involved. We review recent urban floods, their causes and characteristics, together with the results of recent studies.

Projected Annual and Monsoonal Precipitation Trends of CMIP6 Over Peninsular Malaysia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
In this study, we examined historical and projected precipitation temporal trends across Peninsular Malaysia using ground‐based records and CMIP6 models from NEX‐GDDP. Analysing data from 518 reliable gauges over 1973–2022, it identified spatial and monsoonal variations.

A High-Resolution DEM-Based Method for Tracking Urban Pluvial–Fluvial Floods

Remote Sensing
Flood models based on high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) are important for identifying urban land inundation during extreme rainfall events. Urban pluvial and fluvial floods are influenced by distinct processes that are interconnected; thus,

Projected Intensification of Hydroclimatic Extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, Under CMIP6 Scenarios

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract presents observed (1963–2023) and projected changes in hydroclimatic extremes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. It integrates dry‐spell duration (CDD) and extreme precipitation (R95pTOT) using CMIP6 multimodel ensembles under SSP1‐2.6, SSP2‐4.5, and SSP5‐8.5.

Performance Evaluation of the MPAS Model in Simulating Southeast Asian Rainfall Characteristics

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performance of the Model for Prediction Across Scales–Atmosphere (MPAS) in reproducing key rainfall characteristics over Southeast Asia (SEA) during 2000–2020, using the MSWEP dataset as reference. MPAS realistically captures the observed meridional rainfall gradient, with higher rainfall in the south and lower in the north, as
