Hydrological aspects of tropical cyclones -- pt. 6. Societal impacts of tropical cyclones.This book is a completely rewritten, updated and expanded new edition of the original ""Global Perspectives on Tropical Cyclones"" published in 1995. It presents a comprehensive review of the state of science and forecasting of tropical cyclones together with the application of this science to disaster mitigation, hence the tag: From Science to Mitigation. Since the previous volume, enormous progress in understanding tropical cyclones has been achieved. These advances range from the theoretical through to ever more sophisticated computer modeling, all underpinned by a vast and growing range ofWorld Scientific series on Asia-Pacific weather and climate ;v. 4.CyclonesTropicsTropicsClimateObservationsCyclones551.552Chan Johnny C.
