The Sierra Norte de Puebla (Mexico) is a tropical mountain frequently affected by torrential rains induced by depressions and hurricanes. In October 1999 and 2005, intense precipitation triggered hundreds of landslides and caused heavy human losses and material damages. All the landslides surveyed in the field and their traces extracted from the sa...

... studied sub-scene is centered on the 135 km 2 region of La Soledad Lake (Fig. 2), where 98 landslides recorded by the Regional Civil Protection Unit of Puebla, actually 144 observed on the satellite image, have been triggered by torrential rainfalls in October 1999. In this zone located between 19°53' and 20°00' (North latitudes) and 97°25' and 97°30' (W longitudes), the main geological units are ranging from ...

... reinterpreted geologic map (Ochoa-Tejeda, 2009; 2010) takes into account field observation and the information provided by INEGI (1994), Mooser (2000) and Angeles-Moreno and Sanchez-Martinez (2002). We reported ( Fig. 2) landslide locations as the traces extracted from the Ikonos image for the 1999 event, and as points for the more recent mass ...

The Sierra Norte de Puebla (Eastern coast of Mexico) is a tropical mountain frequently affected by torrential rains induced by depressions and hurricanes. In October 1999 and 2005, intense precipitation triggered hundreds of landslides on a 134 km area, and caused heavy human losses and material damages. We show that there is a clear relationship b...
Hurricane Lane (2018) was an impactful event for the Hawaiian Islands and provided a textbook example of the compounding hazards that can be produced from a single storm. Over a 4-day period, the island of Hawaiʻi received an island-wide average of 424 mm (17 in.) of rainfall, with a 4-day single-station maximum of 1,444 mm (57 in.), making Hurrica...
In 2017, The annual rainfall total in Mobile was ranked 8 th of 147 recorded years (1871-2018), while Pensacola, Florida was 2 nd of 138 years (1880-2018). In addition to a host of non-tropical locally heavy precipitation producing storm systems, three tropical systems directly and indirectly contributed to these totals (i.e., Tropical Storm Cindy,...
Rainfall forecast performance was evaluated for the first time for the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model. This study focused on HWRF performance in predicting rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. In particular, two configurations of the 2017 version of HWRF were investigated: a deterministic version of the Basin-scale HWRF...
