The Central Asian country of Tajikistan is the poorest of the former Soviet republics; it is also prone to a plethora of natural hazards including mass wasting, flood, and extreme temperature. This thesis seeks to characterize how vulnerable rural Tajik mountain communities are …
North African climate is analyzed between 1979 and 2010 with an emphasis on August using the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF) global dataset to investigate the effects of the subtropical anticyclones over North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula on the Afr…
On 26 January 2011, a severe storm hit the city of Jeddah, the second largest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The storm resulted in heavy rainfall, which produced a flash flood in a short period of time. This event caused at least eleven fatalities and more than 114 injurie…
This work uses a gridded analysis of radiosonde measurements obtained during AMMA and places those observations in the context of African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA) radar data and satellite rainfall estimates to examine the patterns of kinematic and diabatic quant…
Atmospheric aerosols and trace gases are a highly relevant component of the climate system affecting atmospheric radiative transfer and the hydrologic cycle. In arid and semi-arid regions, where cloud cover is often low and precipitation is generally scarce and sporadic, the dri…
This study was conducted in Dhaka and Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh to examine grass-roots cyclone vulnerability and the governmental policies and cross-scale linkages that address this vulnerability. After conducting surveys with local villagers, it was determined that while the majo…
Malaysia has a monsoon climate and most areas receive more than 2,500 mm of rainfall every year. For the past five years, the frequency and magnitude of floods in Malaysia have been relatively high. Floods have become the most significant type of natural disaster for Malaysia in…
This thesis describes methodologies to evaluate the performance and to assess the uncertainty of atmospheric dispersion models, tools that predict the fate of gases and aerosols upon their release into the atmosphere. Because of the large economic and public-health impacts often…
Between the years 1922 and 1935, American photographer Alfred Stieglitz (1864–1946) photographed over 300 images of clouds from his family’s property at Lake George in upstate New York. About an hour’s drive north of Albany, Lake George experienced highly changeable weather syst…
Bu çalışmada Osmangazi’nin (Bursa) iklimi ve buna bağlı olarak meydana gelen çevresel etkileri ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada Osmangazi (Bursa) meteoroloji istasyonunun 1960-2015 yılları arasını kapsayan verileri kullanılmıştır. Veriler ışığında Erinç, De Martonne, Thorntwaite, Köppe…
ÖZET İklim, insan yaşamı ve faaliyetlerini derinden etkileyen önemli bir unsurdur. Bu çalışmada, Ege bölgesinin iç batı Anadolu bölümünde yer alan Simav ve Tavşanlı’nın iklim özellikleri incelenmiştir. Simav ve Tavşanlı’nın uzun yıllara ait (1975- 2016) iklim verileri Meteoroloj…
Climate change, its causes and effects have become a topical issue in the world today. Universal increases in temperature and sea levels, are evidences of this global phenomenon. In the field of architecture, climate-resilient and climate-responsive domestic buildings are being …
Los eventos climatológicos extremos (ECE) están teniendo un impacto cada vez más significativo en organizaciones, industrias y sociedades. La resiliencia organizacional dependerá de la capacidad para responder efectivamente a los ECE. El propósito de esta investigación es descri…
