This study investigated a rainfall event under typhoon influence using 2D video disdrometer and weather radar observations to characterize raindrop size distribution (DSD) in mixed convective stratiform precipitating system. During the time period when both rainfalls existed, DSDs generally indicated monotonically decreasing shape with increasing particle size, relatively gradual decrease at in...

Weather forecasting has been playing an important role in socio-economics. However, operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) is insufficiently accurate terms of precipitation forecasting, especially for heavy rainfalls. Previous works on NWP bias correction utilizing deep learning (DL) methods mostly focused a local region, and the China-wide forecast had not attempted. Meanwhile, earlier...

The variability of summer precipitation in the southeastern United States is examined in this study using 60-yr (1948–2007) rainfall data. The Southeast summer rainfalls exhibited higher interannual variability with more intense summer droughts and anomalous wetness in the recent 30 years (1978–2007) than in the prior 30 years (1948–77). Such intensification of summer rainfall variability was c...

The incidence of melioidosis in Singapore decreased during 1998-2007, with the exception of the first quarter of 2004. After heavy rainfalls, an increase in pneumonic cases with a high case-fatality rate was detected. We show that melioidosis has the potential to reemerge following adverse climate events.

Haemonchus, Trichostrongylus, Ostertagia and Nematodirus worm populations of Angora goats, based on differential egg counts, are considered in relation to climatological and topographical data. Egg counts indicated that the estimated worm populations in goats that experienced wet circumstances were higher than those exposed to dry conditions. Wetness was assessed by relating spring, summer, and...

In early January 2021, Tanjungpinang was hit by floods due to extreme rainfall intensity, causing the affected communities suffer material and non-material losses. The flood has occurred from 2011 2021. To minimize impact of events, it is necessary study characteristics both temporally spatially. This considered important because with this information public can anticipate at a certain time loc...
