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 …

Typhoons and Temperature Impact Crime Rates: Evidence from the Philippines
<p>This study assesses the impact of typhoons and temperature on interpersonal, property, and non-index crime rates using a novel data set from the Philippines. Distributed lag OLS regression analysis shows that in the concurrent year of increased precipitation, theft rates decrease, but in the …

Impact of Typhoons on Children's Human Capital Investments in Filipino Households
<p>Typhoons are a unique type of natural disaster affecting both developing and developed countries, causing both short and long-term destruction. Typhoons are random both in intensity and frequency, making them difficult to predict their strength and when they will strike. With global climate …

The effects of ocean eddies on tropical cyclones
… not been used in comparison with observations of typhoons in the Western Pacific Ocean. In 2010 several typhoons were studied during the Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) field campaign and Fanapi was particularly well observed. We use these observations and the 3DPWP to …

Experiments in numerical forecasting of tropical storm movement
… for tropical storms and/or hurricanes and typhoons. Fifteen of the 1965 hurricanes and typhoons were used to obtain over 200 twelve and twenty-four hour storm predictions, in one-hour time steps, for each of the following FNWF analyses: 1000, 500, 200, 1000/500, 1000/200, and 500/200 -mb SR …

Synoptische, diagnostische und numerische Untersuchungen der Intensitätsänderungen von tropischen Wirbelstürmen und Monsuntiefs
… changes of an Australian monsoon depression and typhoons Flo (1990) and Ed (1990) are investigated using operational analyses, diagnostic studies, and numerical model calculations. The analyses are based on gridded data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s (BMRC’s) Tropical Analysis …

Evaluation of rainfall-induced landslide transit characterization
… with the landslides from three typhoon events, Typhoons Toraji, Mindulle and Sinlaku, is selected for landslide hazard analysis in this study. The Rainfall-induced Landslide Hazard Rating System is developed and applied in the landslide transit characterization analyses. The results show that …

Three-Dimensional Distance Based Geostatistical Models to Adjust Radar Rainfall Data
… watershed using the rainfall events of five typhoons landed Taiwan in recent years. Two-dimensional (2D) distance based models are also simulated to compare the adjusted rainfall values with those from 3D distance approaches. Results from Ordinary Kriging (OK) and gauge data are also included …

ENVIRONMENTAL MODEL ACCURACY IMPROVEMENT FRAMEWORK USING STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES AND A NOVEL TRAINING APPROACH
… because of extreme events, such as heatwaves, typhoons, droughts, tsunamis, torrential downpour, wind ramps, or hurricanes. In this thesis, we proposed a novel framework to improve environmental model accuracy with a novel training approach. Extreme event detection algorithms are surveyed, …

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 …
