Study on the Intensity and Track Prediction of Typhoon Yagi (2024) Based on Ensemble Kalman Filter Assimilation of Satellite and Radar Data
Typhoons are among the most important natural disasters affecting coastal regions. Their track and intensity are crucial for disaster prevention and loss reduction. However, typhoon prediction still faces challenges, especially in simulating rapid intensification. This study investigates the impact …

Typhoons and Lower Birth Weight in the Philippines
<p>Do typhoons impact birth weights of infants exposed to a typhoon while in utero? This research exploits the exogeneity and randomness of typhoons in the Philippines to estimate the impact of typhoon exposure as determined by wind speed on birth weights. Using four waves of the Demographic and …
