Criteria for Evaluating the Condition of a Tropical Cyclone Warning System

This paper evaluates the condition (i.e. health) of a tropical cyclone warning system (TCWS) during a 'quiet period' between infrequent intense cyclones. Capacity to make pre-disaster evaluations is important--disaster warning systems need to be in sound condition before, not after, disaster. The research--part of the UK's International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction Flagship Programme--focuses upon an evaluatory method first used on flood warning systems. The Criteria-development Matrix comprises social, organisational and institutional criteria by which a TCWS may be assessed using a five-stage development scale. This method is used to evaluate Mauritius's TCWS using in-depth interview data. Ways to enhance the method and apply it to other disaster warning systems are discussed. The TCWS in Mauritius is a relatively sound one from which others can learn. Weaknesses requiring attention for Mauritius's TCWS to progress to an advanced level of development are identified.     

BIOGEOCIIEMISTRY OF AN OLD-GROWTH FORESTED WATERSHED,OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK,WASHINGTON1

ABSTRACT: The biogeochemistry of a coastal old-growth forested watershed in Olympic National Park, Washington, was examined. Objectives were to determine: (1) concentrations of major cations and anions and dissolved organic C (DOC) in precipitation, throughfall, stemflow, soil solution and the stream; (2) nutrient input/output budgets; and (3) nutrient retention mechanisms in the watershed. Stemilow was more acidic (pH 4.0–4.5) than throughfall (pH 5.1) and precipitation (pH 5.3). Organic acids were important contributors to acidity in throughfall and stemflow and tree species influenced pH. Soil solution pH averaged 6.2 at 40 cm depth. Stream pH was higher (7.6). Sodium (54.0 μeq L-¹) and Cl (57.6 μeq L^?1) were the dominant ions in precipitation, reflecting the close proximity to the ocean. Throughfall and stemflow were generally enriched in cations, especially K. Cation concentrations in soil solutions were generally less than those in stemilow. Ion concentrations increased in the stream. Dominant ions were Ca (759.7 μeq L^?1), Na (174.4 μeq L^?1), HCO₃ (592.0 μeq L^?1), and SO₄ (331.5 μeq L^?1) with seasonal peaks in the fall. Bedrock weathering strongly influenced stream chemistry. Highest average NO₃ concentrations were in the stream (5.2 μeq L^?1) with seasonal peaks in the fall and lowest concentrations in the growing season. Nitrogen losses were similar to inputs; annual inputs were 4.8 kg/ha (not including fixation) and stream losses were 7.1 kg/ha. Despite the age and successional status of the forest, plant uptake is an important N retention mechanism in this watershed.     

"艾利"台风异常路径与登陆地点分析

2004年18号台风“艾利”的移动路径在登陆前发生了两次左折，是一次十分罕见的异常路径。从大尺度环流、天气尺度特征分析发现，双台风作用使两个台风产生逆时针旋转效应，及由东西环副高联成的东西向高压坝的阻挡作用，台风西北侧我国江南一福建的偏东一东北气流的加强和沿海地形摩擦效应的综合效果是造成台风“艾利”异常路径的原因。“艾利”台风第二次左折向西南方向移动，沿着福建海岸线的移动阶段，利用沿海多部雷达的高时空分辨率的定位，准确及时地反映了台风西折的动向，为防台抗灾提供了重要的信息，从一定程度上弥补了第二次左折路径预报存在一定偏差的不足。分析还发现，“艾利”台风在第二次左折前后，多普勒雷达速度图象上出现了明显的风速极值区不对称特征，西北象限风速极值大于其它象限的不对称分布可能是导致并维持AERE台风向西南方向移动的重要原因。最后，利用沿海地区稠密的自动气象站探测到的风和气压资料，较好地验证了雷达定位的准确性，同时能够更精确地判定台风的登陆点。     

汕头沿海热带气旋特征分析

通过分析1950～2009年汕头沿岸的热带气旋和1953～2009年汕头风暴潮增水资料,确定汕头地区的增水影响区,并对进入影响区的热带气旋频度、源地、路径、登陆点等要素进行了统计分析,重点分析了影响汕头增水的热带气旋的空间、时间分布特征。结果表明防御风暴潮灾害重点在7～9月,尤其是7月;热带气旋进入影响区以后的路径和登陆地点的不同引发汕头风暴潮增水强度不同,东南-西北行的路径引发增水次数最多,强度最强,西登型和正面登陆型热带气旋较其他登陆类型容易引发较强增水等。所得出的结论,对风暴潮预报具有指导意义,利于开展海洋防灾减灾工作。

Evaluating the influence of nature connection and values on conservation attitudes at a tropical deforestation frontier

Inner phenomena, such as personal motivations for pursuing sustainability, may be critical levers for improving conservation outcomes. Most conservation research and policies, however, focus on external phenomena (e.g., ecological change or economic processes). We explored the factors shaping 9 conservation attitudes toward forest and wildlife protection among colonist farmers around an Amazonian deforestation frontier. Our data comprised 241 face-to-face quantitative surveys, complemented with qualitative insights from open-ended questionnaire responses and opportunistic semistructured interviews. To account for the full spectrum of possible inner motivations, we employed measures of nature connection (indicating biospheric motivation) and personal values organized around the traditionalism (traditionalist through to high openness to change) and universalism dimensions (egoistic through to altruistic motivations). We used averaged beta-binomial generalized linear models to assess the role of external factors (socioeconomic, sociodemographic, and environmental) and personal (inner) motivations on the variation in attitudes. Each attitude was modeled separately. The relative importance of each predictor was judged by the proportion of models where it appeared as significant. Proconservation views were expressed by the majority (at least 65%) of the respondents in 7 out of the 9 attitude models. The most consistent predictors were emotional nature connection and personal values (significant in 4–6 out of 9 models), rather than external phenomena (significant in 0–5 models). However, the poorest farmers had lower scores on the agreement with prioritizing nature over development (𝛽 = –0.52, 95% CI: –0.96 to –0.07). Qualitative data also indicated that economic barriers hinder forest conservation on farms. These results suggest that biospheric, traditionalistic, and altruistic motivations promote people's proconservation attitudes, but nurturing these latent motivations is unlikely to improve conservation outcomes if material poverty remains unaddressed. Integrating the inner–outer perspective into conservation thinking and practical interventions could foster environmental stewardship and increase human well-being.

Tropical surface water quality studies: Implications for the aquatic fate of N-methyl carbamate pesticides

Water quality assessment was conducted on the Ruiru River, a tributary of an important tropical river system in Kenya, to determine baseline river conditions for studies on the aquatic fate of N-methyl carbamate (NMC) pesticides. Measurements were taken at the end of the long rainy season in early June 2013. Concentrations of copper (0.21–1.51 ppm), nitrates (2.28–4.89 ppm) and phosphates (0.01–0.50 ppm) were detected at higher values than in uncontaminated waters, and attributed to surface runoff from agricultural activity in the surrounding area. Concentrations of dissolved oxygen (8–10 ppm), ammonia (0.02–0.22 ppm) and phenols (0.19–0.83 ppm) were found to lie within normal ranges. The Ruiru River was found to be slightly basic (pH 7.08–7.70) with a temperature of 17.8–21.2°C. The half-life values for hydrolysis of three NMC pesticides (carbofuran, carbaryl and propoxur) used in the area were measured under laboratory conditions, revealing that rates of decay were influenced by the electronic nature of the NMCs. The hydrolysis half-lives at pH 9 and 18°C decreased in the order carbofuran (57.8 h) > propoxur (38.5 h) > carbaryl (19.3 h). In general, a decrease in the electron density of the NMC aromatic ring increases the acidity of the N-bound proton removed in the rate-limiting step of the hydrolysis mechanism. Our results are consistent with this prediction, and the most electron-poor NMC (carbaryl) hydrolyzed fastest, while the most electron-rich NMC (carbofuran) hydrolyzed slowest. Results from this study should provide baseline data for future studies on NMC pesticide chemical fate in the Ruiru River and similar tropical water systems.     

Isoprene Emission from the Forest of Haryana State

Tropical and sub tropical regions are regarded as dominant source of biogenic volatile organic compounds emission (BVOC). However, measurement studies from these regions are limited and largely confined to South Africa and Amazonia. Consequently, global BVOC estimates are mainly based on modeling studies. Moreover, BVOC emission estimate is altogether lacking for any region of the Indian sub continent. This study attempts to estimate isoprene emission capacity of forest of Haryana state. Individual plant species isoprene emission capacity is found to vary from below detection limit (BDL) to 12.01 mg Cm^{− 2} h^{− 1}. Maximum emission capacity (12.01 mg Cm^{− 2} h^{− 1}) is noticed in case of Dalbergia sissoo. The area average isoprene emission capacity for the Haryana forest is found to be 19.98 mg Cm^{− 2} h^{− 1}, which is significantly (2.4 times) higher than the reported isoprene emission value of 8.2 mg Cm^{− 2} h^{− 1} for the Kalahari woodland of Africa.
