Resolving Focal Mechanism Solution’s Ambiguity through Perturbation Applied to Mindoro Earthquakes
The problem of the present study is to determine which of the two planes of a Focal Mechanism Solution (FMS) is the fault plane. In order to resolve this problem of ambiguity in focal mechanisms, we use the method of perturbation of the...
Scientists Investigate Recent Philippine Landslide
A massive landslide devastated the community of Barangay Guinsaugon, Municipality of St. Bernard, Southern Leyte Province, Philippines, at about 10:30 local time on 17 February. The landslide occurred along the steep fault scarp of the Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ) (Figure 1a), a large...

Forecasting Philippine Tropical Cyclone Tracks and Associated Precipitation using MM5: a Sensitivity Study
This study evaluates the skill of the PSU/NCAR mesoscale model (MM5) in predicting the storm tracks and associated precipitation during tropical cyclone events within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). Simulated storm tracks and accumulated rainfall forecasts of six tropical cyclones that occurred...
Continuously operated portable automated lidar (PAL): boundary layer observations in Chiba, Japan using automatic alignment system
A continuously operated portable automated lidar (PAL) is used to monitor the troposphere. The PAL system uses an automatic alignment procedure to routinely optimize the lidar alignment in a definite interval. Consequently, we demonstrate the capability of the system to detect atmospheric phenomena...
