Displaying 75 of about 89 resultsThis article complements the existing knowledge by considering complex patterns of droughts through their compound attributes. Focusing on the reference period 1981–2016, it adopts the well-known Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) to assess drought occurrence and formulates an analogous new index on interannual yield anomalies, t…

This study examines the historical impacts of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) in Hong Kong and evaluates the association between economic losses and different TC hazards/parameters (i.e., wind, rainfall, and storm surge). The Pearl River Delta region in South China is known as a significant hotspot of tropical cyclone (TC) risk, which calls for an in-depth eval…
