Assessment of Heavy Rainfall Retrieved from Microwave Instrument in Taiwan Area
Satellite-data derived total precipitable water (kg/m 2 ) is the amount of water vapor in the atmospheric column from the surface of the earth to space. The microwave instruments SSMI/S, AMSRE and AMSU can be used to retrieve this parameter that could be useful in relation to heavy precipitation. The MIRS products, developed by NESDIS, were used as indices. In order to study the cause of heavy ...
متن کاملPost-disaster assessment of landslides in southern Taiwan after 2009 Typhoon Morakot using remote sensing and spatial analysis
On 8 August 2009, the extreme rainfall of Typhoon Morakot triggered enormous landslides in mountainous regions of southern Taiwan, causing catastrophic infrastructure and property damages and human casualties. A comprehensive evaluation of the landslides is essential for the post-disaster reconstruction and should be helpful for future hazard mitigation. This paper presents a systematic approac...
متن کاملChange detection of landslides and debris in south Taiwan after "Morakot" typhoon based on HJ-1-B Satellite images
The 0908 typhoon “Morakot” heavily attacked Taiwan. It brought strong rainfall which not only caused water level rise in several reservoirs and rivers, but also triggered a large number of landslides, debris flow, collapse and other geological disasters. All of these changes resulted in flooding, and for the worst, several villages were buried. In this paper, using NDVI(Normal Differential Vege...
