Multi-wavelength in situ aerosol extinction, absorption and scattering measurements made at two ground sites during the 2010 Carbonaceous Aerosols and ORG SESAME OIL Radiative Effects Study (CARES) are analyzed using a spectral deconvolution method that allows extraction of particle-size-related information, including the fraction of extinction pro
Seeking 100% renewable energy source (RES) penetration in low-inertia, isolated grids presents major challenges, including frequency control and stability.This is the case in small island systems relying on variable RES and pumped-hydro storage, where the limited ramping capabilities of hydro turbines compromise their frequency response.In t
Landslides caused by rainfall are one of the most frequent causes of disasters in tropical countries and mountainous terrain and can block rivers generating landslide dams.This paper presents a methodology for the estimation of the obstruction of water streams generated by rainfall-induced shallow landslides.The spatial distribution of the landslid
