A Model Simulation of NO2 Observations at the Manila Observatory, Quezon City, Metro Manila
A theoretical study of diurnal variations of NO2 concentrations in the air is conducted to verify the observations at the Manila Observatory inside the Ateneo…

Measurement of Ambient NO2, SO2, and O3 Concentrations Using Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS)
A 280m open-path DOAS instrument was constructed. A folded-path configuration employing retroreflectors was chosen for advantages in sensitivity and convenience in instrument alignment and housing….

Forecasting Tropical Cyclone Tracks using MM5
The Fifth-generation PSU/NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) was used to predict tropical cyclone tracks that developed near the Philippines in 2003. The model’s sensitivity to the…

Design, Construction, and Performance of a Prototype Low-Cost PM 2.5 Aerosol Sampler
Inertial impaction theory was used in the design and construction of a prototype PM 2.5 aerosol sampler. This prototype, consisting of just an impaction stage…

A Rainfall Climatology of Luzon Using the MM5 Atmospheric Model
A June climatological distribution of rainfall for Luzon has been constructed. The method of construction consists of combining two types of rainfall values: theoretical values…
-
An Analysis of the Spatio-temporal Variability of Rainfall in the Philippines
In response to the serious implications of changes in the local climate, this study describes the temporal and spatial rainfall variability in the Philippines. Precipitation…
-
Development of a New Rainfall Climatology for the Philippines
A method for developing a high resolution, accurate gridded, rainfall data for the Philippines is described. The method is based on combining three types of…
-
Temporal Variations of NO2 Concentrations at the Manila Observatory, Quezon City, Metro Manila
Observations of NO2 at the Manila Observatory in the Ateneo de Manila Campus (Quezon City, Philippines) are analyzed. These have been made with a Differential…

Changes in the Surface Temperature and Winds due to the Growth of the Metro Manila Urban Area
This study investigates the changes in the surface temperature and wind field due to the possible southward growth of the Metro Manila urban area. Twenty…

Construction of a Climate Downscaling Neural Network
Climate studies call for more localized climate scenarios. The scarcity of high-resolution scenarios is a problem, however. To address this problem, we aimed to construct…
