Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of N and K Fertilizers on Nutrient Leaching and Groundwater Quality under Mature Oil Palm in Sabah during the Monsoon PeriodPetronella G. Ah Tung, Mohd Kamil Yusoff, Nik Muhamad Majid et al.Problem statement: The oil palms are mainly grown in the humid tropics with high rainfall. Soluble Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K) fertilizers are commonly required by the oil palm plantations to maximize palm productivity due to the highly weathered soils with low fertility. Thus, leaching losses of N and K nutrients may be unavoidable and these nutrients may move further … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2009 · 10,143 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInteractions of Aerosol Optical Depth and Cloud Parameters with Rainfall and the Validation of Satellite Based Rainfall ObservationsMd Monirul Islam, Md Mainul Islam Mamun, Md Zahidul Islam, Mumnunul KeramatAerosol-cloud interactions influence the global precipitation patterns that influence significantly the Earth's climate system. Anthropogenic aerosols alter the clouds and their optical properties. The present study has investigated the Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), cloud parameters and rainfall interactions for three different monsoon periods (2008-2010) and also compared the satellite rainfall with ground based observations, by using MODIS and TRMM datasets. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Jun 2017 · 7,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRiver Flow Conditions and Dynamic State Analysis of Pahang RiverMuhamad Barzani Gasim, M. E. Toriman, Mushrifah Idris et al.Pahang River (Sg. Pahang) is the longest river in Peninsular Malaysia. Flood is a common event in Pahang River Basin during wet season which triggered by monsoon season. The hydrodynamic study of Pahang River should be well understood especially when it is a target of northeast monsoon which influenced the Pahang River Basin every year (from November to March). 17 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMonitoring of GPS Precipitable Water Vapor During the Severe Flood in KelantanWayan Suparta, Ja’afar Adnan, Mohd. Alauddin Mohd. AliProblem statement: This study mainly discusses the possibility of PWV derived from GPS data for monitoring of water vapor changes during the severe flood due to heavy rainfall. There are two cases of heavy rainfall recorded during the winter monsoon in November 2009 at Kuala Krai, Kelantan. Approach: The first and second cases were sustained for 3 days from 4-6 … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 13 Mar 2012 · 9,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWave Characteristics in Sabah WatersEjria Saleh, Jessie Beliku, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: This study was conducted to identify and compare the wave characteristics in Sabah waters at five different key locations so as to determine the effects of the Northeast Monsoon (NEM) and the Southwest Monsoon (SWM) along the east and west coasts of Sabah. Approach: Monthly wave height and wave period data for 8 years covering offshore areas of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSensitivity of Fish Landings to Some Meteorological Parameters: A Case StudyMadihah Jafar-Sidik, Than Aung, Awnesh SinghProblem statement: A widely held belief that climate change has impacts on sustainable fish catch leads us to find out how these effects influence fish landings in Sabah, Malaysia, especially for the west and east coasts, based upon monsoonal periods. Correlation of fish landings with rainfall suggests that local fish landing is believed to be sensitive to the effects of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSeasonal Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Surface Sediments of the Terengganu Nearshore Coastal AreaS. Hasrizal, B. Y. Kamaruzzaman, I. Sakri et al.Problem statement: The distribution of organic carbon in the surface sediment is a crucial indicator for current productivity in the ocean especially in the nearshore area. The difference of organic carbon in the surface sediment reflects the influence of current movement on the bottom sediment. Approach: This study was carried out to oversee the difference of organic carbon distribution during … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Loss Using GIS and RUSLE Model in Bakiya River Basin (BRB), Central NepalSujan Bista, Naresh Kazi Tamrakar, Kishor Rimal, Arju BhattaraiSoil erosion is the major geological hazard in the fragile landscape of Sub-Himalaya. This study examines the susceptibility of the Bakiya River Basin (BRB) in Central Nepal to soil erosion because of its steep topography, fragile geology, the impact of intense monsoon rainfall, and the lack of a direct monitoring mechanism available for rainfall-runoff. This study examines the spatial variations … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2025 · 3,384 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Strategic Study on the Environmental Impacts of Wind Turbine Blade Materials, their Improvements, Economics and End-Life-OptionsOjshwi Prakash, Godwin Glivin, N. Kalaiselvan, V. MariappanWind energy is a great alternative to solar energy (During monsoon) along with conventional non-renewable energy sources and has a potential market growing exponentially. Modern 3 Blade HAWTs are most dominant in the market and have high efficiency. Blades are 15 to 20% of the cost of the wind turbine unit and also exposed to the environment. Therefore it is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2020 · 8,366 accessesView PDFCite
