These events release substantial volumes of water downstream, posing significant hydrometeorological hazards. The downstream regions of Sikkim, particularly the lower Teesta basin, experience flood hazards due to both direct precipitation and enhanced discharge from upstream glacial lakes. Among these, South Lhonak Lake (SLL), one of the largest lakes in the Teesta basin, has undergone rapid volumetric expansion, making it a critical hotspot for GLOF hazards. The study explores the application of the WRF model for GLOF-related research, offering a novel approach to understanding and predicting such events. This study used Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to simulate and analyze heavy precipitation events across Sikkim, with a specific focus on the GLOF-triggering precipitation event of October 3–4, 2023, over the SLL region. The results suggest that intense precipitation, coupled with ice mass instability and lateral moraine failure, acted as the primary triggers for the catastrophic GLOF. Model simulations were conducted using high-resolution precipitation data acquired from the newly deployed X-band Doppler Weather Radar (DWR) installed by DGRE-DRDO at NIT Sikkim. The resulting outburst flood caused extensive damage to settlements, infrastructure, and hydropower projects along its course, extending several tens of kilometers downstream. The findings underscore the urgent need for an integrated monitoring framework combining high-resolution numerical weather prediction, satellite-based glacial lake surveillance, and real-time radar observations. This study represents the first application of the WRF model for GLOF-related precipitation forecasting in Sikkim, demonstrating its potential for enhancing early warning capabilities and risk mitigation strategies in the region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103968"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144131133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Geographical Detector Model (GDM) is a powerful statistical tool that can be used to analyze and predict the impact of these parameters on water quality by examining variance and data heterogeneity. A notable advantage of GDM is that it can also effectively analyze the relationship between physical and chemical parameters. In this study, we used GDM to analyze 7 physical and 16 chemical parameters that influence the Water Quality Index (WQI), considering both their individual effects and interactions in all rivers of Hong Kong. The findings showed that Suspended Solids (SS) had the greatest impact among physical parameters (0.45) on WQI, while Total Phosphorus (TP) was the most impactful chemical parameter (0.85). Additionally, the results revealed that Turbidity (TUR) and Conductivity (CON) showed the strongest positive interaction among physical parameters (0.93), while the highest interaction among chemical parameters was observed between Al and TP (0.92).

Fifty-nine soil samples were collected from the four administrative ranges such as Satkhira, Khulna, Sarankhola and Chandpai of Sundarbans. The study witnessed that salinity greatly influenced the availability, distribution and stoichiometry of soil OC, TN, TP, and TS. The OC and TN contents were found to increase with decreasing the salinity level probably due to the increasing soil microbial activity from higher to lower salinity levels. The TP content was recorded higher in moderate salinity levels where TS content was higher in moderate to low salinity levels. The OC, TN and TP contents of the top 0–5 cm of soil were recorded higher than 5–10 cm among the sampling ranges while TS content showed a reverse distribution. The stoichiometric ratios of C: N hardly varied along with the salt gradient, however, values of C: P and C: S appeared higher when the salinity level was higher. The OC and TN showed a significant positive relationship with OM and cationic contents.

Using a mixed-method approach, the study surveyed 595 farmers and conducted key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with farmers, agrometeorologists, and extension officers in both program states and a control state (Nasarawa). A student's t-test assessed differences in farmers' awareness and use of WCS, while qualitative data underwent rigorous thematic and content analysis through transcription, coding, thematic and content analysis, comparative and framework analysis, triangulation, and narrative analysis, ensuring a rigorous and comprehensive interpretation of participant perspectives. Findings show that IFAD-CASP significantly improved the uptake of only one of NiMet's five WCS products, with limited overall utilization due to weak linkages between WCS producers, enablers (e.g., extension officers, media practitioners), and end-users (farmers). The study calls for stronger institutional collaborations, engaging public and private media, ICT experts, extension services, farmer groups, and climate and social scientists to enhance WCS development, dissemination, and adoption in line with farmers' needs. Such collaborations aim to build a comprehensive enterprise that facilitates the development, collation, dissemination, and utilization of WCS products aligned closely with farmers' needs and expectations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54616,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of the Earth","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 103961"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143942067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
