Four current and former U.S. offi- cials said Abu Mohammed al-Masri, al-Qaida’s No. 2, was killed by assas- sins in the Iranian capital in August. The U.S. provided intelligence to the Israelis on where they could find al- Masri and the alias he was using at the time, while Israeli agents carried out the killing, according to two of the officials. The two other officials confirmed al-Masri’s killing but could not provide specific details. Al-Masri was gunned down in a Tehran alley on Aug. 7, the anni- versary of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Al- Masri was widely believed to have participated in the planning of those attacks and was wanted on terrorism charges by the FBI.

As of 10 August, four people were killed, some 8,000 people were left homeless, and 200 meters of railroads were washed away. More than 12,000 hectares of rice paddies were flooded in Kam Pot province alone. Floods Nov 1999 Continued torrential rains during October and early November caused flash floods and affected five southern provinces: Takeo, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Phnom Penh Municipality and Pursat. The report indicates that the floods affected 21,334 families and around 9,900 ha of rice field. IFRC's situation report dated 9 November stated that 3,561 houses are damaged/destroyed. So far, there has been no report of casualties. Flood Aug 2000 The second floods has caused serious damages on provinces in the North, the East and the South, especially in Takeo Province. Three provinces along Mekong River (Stung Treng, Kratie and Kompong Cham) and Municipality of Phnom Penh have declared the state of emergency. 121,000 families have been affected, more than 170 people were killed, and some $10 million in rice crops has been destroyed.

  • Influence of Wind-Induced Antenna Oscillations on Radar Observations
    DECEMBER 2020 C H A N G E T A L . 2235 Influence of Wind-Induced Antenna Oscillations on Radar Observations and Its Mitigation PAO-LIANG CHANG,WEI-TING FANG,PIN-FANG LIN, AND YU-SHUANG TANG Central Weather Bureau, Taipei, Taiwan (Manuscript received 29 April 2020, in final form 13 August 2020) 2 ABSTRACT:As Typhoon Goni (2015) passed over Ishigaki Island, a maximum gust speed of 71 m s 1 was observed by a surface weather station. During Typhoon Goni’s passage, mountaintop radar recorded antenna elevation angle oscillations, with a maximum amplitude of ;0.28 at an elevation angle of 0.28. This oscillation phenomenon was reflected in the reflectivity and Doppler velocity fields as Typhoon Goni’s eyewall encompassed Ishigaki Island. The main antenna oscillation period was approximately 0.21–0.38 s under an antenna rotational speed of ;4 rpm. The estimated fundamental vibration period of the radar tower is approximately 0.25–0.44 s, which is comparable to the predominant antenna oscillation period and agrees with the expected wind-induced vibrations of buildings. The re- flectivity field at the 0.28 elevation angle exhibited a phase shift signature and a negative correlation of 20.5 with the antenna oscillation, associated with the negative vertical gradient of reflectivity. FFT analysis revealed two antenna oscillation periods at 0955–1205 and 1335–1445 UTC 23 August 2015. The oscillation phenomenon ceased between these two periods because Typhoon Goni’s eye moved over the radar site. The VAD analysis-estimated wind speeds 2 at a range of 1 km for these two antenna oscillation periods exceeded 45 m s 1, with a maximum value of approxi- 2 mately 70 m s 1.
