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...

... calculated in such a way have been tested; finally, because these indices present a weak correlation creating the strongest dispersion of all the points, the graph between the perimeter convexity index P c /P p and the ratio perimeter versus surface θ allows classifying better the different traces extracted from the Ikonos satellite image (see Fig. ...

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...

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,...
