Research Work on Torrential Rain and Typhoons

Survey on Sense of Security for Registering Privacy Information to Return Refugee Supporting System

In Japan, occasionally public transportation is temporarily suspended because of typhoons or torrential downpour. Hence, it becomes difficult for many people to return to their homes. Systems for returning refugees have been proposed. However, such systems do not necessarily give Anshin to the people. Anshin is a Japanese noun which stands for sense of security. In this research, we identify th...

A SOA based debris flow monitoring system Architecture and proof-of-concept implementation

Taiwan is located at the collision boundary of the Philippine sea plate and the Eurasian plate. The mountain terrain is precipitous and the region, on the whole, is characterized by fragile rocks and frequent seismic activity. In addition, the concentrated torrential rainfall brought by typhoons cause extensive disasters, debris flow, the most serious disaster caused by torrential rainfall, lea...

Estimation of Rainfall Associated with Typhoons over the Ocean Using TRMM/TMI and Numerical Models

This study quantitatively estimated the precipitation associated with a typhoon in the northwestern Pacific Ocean by using a physical algorithm which included the Weather Research and Forecasting model, Radiative Transfer for TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder model, and data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)/TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) and TRMM/Precipitation Radar (PR). First...

Convective Structures in a Simulated Torrential-Rain-Producing Mesoscale Convective System in East China

Erratum: Importance of Oceanian small mountainous rivers (SMRs) in global land-to-ocean output of lignin and modern biospheric carbon.
