Quantifying the shapes of U.S. landfalling tropical cyclone rain shields
This study utilizes geographic information systems to spatially analyze radar returns and calculate several metrics that quantify the shapes of TC (Tropical Cyclone) rain shields. Three stepwise discriminant analyses are performed to determine which
of the shape metrics distinguish among TCs categorized by : intensity, distance, traveled inland, and orientation of terrain encountered. Results confirm that TC rain shields often assume noncircular shapes. Utilizing shape indices to model rain shields could

features and in sediments. Neither the rain forests in Amazonia nor the salars and lakes on the tropical-subtropical altiplano looked in the past 10.000 to 20.000 years, even less in the past 1 or 2 million years, as they look today. In course of global
climate changes (such as ice ages) the rain forests shrank, savannahs expanded and deserts existed where dense vegetation dominates today. Or big lake sand long glaciers existed in today´s desert like central Andean valleys. Apart from temperature changes

Among the most influential climatic fluctuations of the present, El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) occupies a central place, and that for very justifiable reasons. Storms in the world's oceans, copious rains in some tropical regions, decimating

The Coastal Cordillera of central Chile is sensitive to soil erosion due to moderate to steep slopes, intense winter rains when the vegetation cover is scarce, and deeply weathered granitic rocks. A multi-scale approach was implemented to produce
