fluctuating zone of the study area are established. The tropical fluctuating zone explains different locating of different researchers. This paper also puts forward a new method to display boundary for eco-geographic regions.
This discussion results in new understanding on eco-geographic regions and their boundaries, especially on gradual changes of natural conditions between eco-geographic regions. It clarifies differences and causes of the differencies for the results
. New concepts of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical fluctuating zone are formed to understand tropical area. Based on the indexes of climate, vegetation and soil, boundaries of tropical, annual tropical, true tropical and tropical

Regional distribution of the rainstorms and floods caused and affected by tropical cyclones are described and the geographical divisions of China are also given in this paper. The hydrological characteristics of tropical cyclone rainstorms
and floods are discussed and compared with that on non-tropical cyclones.

Center's Storm Data. Geographic Information System (GIS) software was employed to make geometric measurements of the distance and direction of the impacts relative to storm center. The majority of tropical cyclone tornado and high wind impacts occur
This study examines the spatial patterns of societal impacts associated with tornadoes and high winds with 31 inland-moving tropical cyclones (TC) that made landfall from 1985 to 2008. Hourly weather information was collected from all available
first-order weather stations affected by each storm, as well as tropical cyclone preliminary reports issued from the National Hurricane Center. Societal impacts were identified through selected newspapers across the region and the National Climatic Data
in the right-forward sector of the tropical cyclone. However, many TC produce impacts that occur in other sectors far from the center of circulation. These abnormalities are associated with interactions between the tropical cyclone circulation, topography

Robequain was a pioneer of colonial and tropical geography who produced the first field-based doctoral monograph on a region in the tropical world, the Thanh Hoa in Annam. He was a passionate traveller who visited many tropical lands and wrote
generations of geographers. After mid-century his approach was a recognised as being increasingly irrelevant as independence movements proliferated in many parts of the world. Robequain’s influence on geography was less than that of P. Gourou, his friend
