A number of different conserved potential temperatures have been used for clouds that employ various approximate forms of eqn [8]. The simplest possible case is that in which saturation conditions are maintained, ice is not present, and the heat capacities of the water vapor and condensed water ...
Wave runup was computed using two forms (for steep and mild slopes, as appropriate for the profile under consideration—see “Methods” section) of the commonly used Stockdon et al.32 parametrization, using wave conditions from the ERA-interim global wave reanalysis. All these individual ...
During cyclone Sidr, mangrove forests in coastal areas played a crucial role in the mitigation of these deadly effects. Sunderban mangrove, the world's largest mangrove ecosystem with 7900 sq. miles, forms the seaward frontier of the bay and is now facing significant degradation. The Sunderban ...
Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are the center of origin and diversity for several root, fruit and nut crops, which are indispensable for food security, ru
Each map was classified into six hazard levels (I to VI). Finally, a comprehensive potential HST hazard map was created based on the superposition of the HSSs from 122 typhoon events and HATs. Keywords: storm surge; astronomical tide; storm tide; typhoon events; hazard map 1. Introduction ...
