Mexico United States 1 1 United States Mexico 2 3 4 Figure 1. Geographical area of northwestern Mexico with topographic contours (shaded, m) given in the 5 vertical bar. Specific locations mentioned throughout the text are the states of Nayarit (NAY), Sinaloa 6 (SIN), Sonora (SON), Baja California (BC), and Baja California Sur (BCS). Circled letters are the five 7 largest communities in BCS and SIN, shown in Table 1. Dots represent landfall positions from tropical 8 cyclones during the period 1969–2006. The dashed box outlines the area shown in Figs. 12 and 15. 9 1 2 11 Figure 2. Tracks of tropical cyclones that, during the seasons 1969–2006, made first landfall over the (a) Baja California Peninsula and (b) Mainland Mexico. Thick lines are tropical cyclones from 2006. Temporal frequency (percentage) of landfall strikes is shown in upper-right inserts. The lower-left lists provide the five strongest hurricanes at landfall: name, year, and maximum winds in m s-1 (Saffir-Simpson scale category). Small dots are initial locations with corresponding labels (first letter name and two-digit 2 year). The large dot represents Isla Socorro. 3 13 15 Figure 3. Mean streamlines at the 500-hPa level from the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis for selected cases from Fig. 2. Tropical cyclones at time of landfall over the (a) Baja California peninsula and (b) the mainland are considered. Dashed line is the 10 m s-1 wind speed contour at 500-hPa. The black dots indicate corresponding mean position of TCs from the best track, plus signs are 12 and 24 hours before and after lnadfall. Shading represents the 850-200 hPa wind shear with light, intermediate and dark tones indicating -1 values above 10, 20 and 30 m s respectively. 3 4 16 Figure 4.

INTRODUCTION Western Mexico routinely experiences landfall of those that moved onto the mainland acquired a significant tropical cyclones. Jáuregui (2003) documented that 65 eastward component by 20ºN. Additionally, most storms hurricanes approached the west coast and 60% of them developed late in the season with highest frequency made landfall in the northwestern part of the country during the last two-thirds of September (35%) and all of between 1951 and 2000. This area is located north of October (54%). In a study of the period 1966-2004, 20ºN and west of 105ºW, which includes the Baja Romero-Vadillo et al. (2007) identified this type of storm California Peninsula and the States of Nayarit, Sinaloa track and the landfall trend associated with the presence and Sonora. Also, 64% of 88 tropical storms entered this of westerly airflow at middle and upper levels. area, increasing precipitation in this very arid region. Some of these systems continued moving northward after landfall and, eventually, had an influence on the weather conditions in the southwestern United States. The records for the eastern Pacific basin, provided by the National Hurricane Center, reveal 614 tropical cyclones during 1970–2007. Figure 1 displays the tracks of the sub-group of tropical cyclones that made landfall over northwestern Mexico. The upper panel (Fig.

Current literature on diaspora policies has not developed a framework to understand atypical cases such as the case of Sinaloa. I developed a mixed method research design case study of state-diaspora relations in the Sinaloa-Los Angeles transnational field. I argue that political, economic, and organizational factors explain the absence of diaspora policies. Findings suggest that this is due to anti-democratic orientations of Sinaloan local governments, lack of strong Sinaloan Hometown Associations, and low remittance dependency at the state level.

  • Notable Tropical Cyclones and Unusual Areas of Tropical Cyclone Formation
    A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float; also compare with Latin fluctus, flumen).

  • P2h.8 Landfalling Tropical Cyclones in the Eastern Pacific
    P2H.8 LANDFALLING TROPICAL CYCLONES IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC. PART I: CASE STUDIES FROM 2006 AND 2007. Luis M. Farfán1, Rosario Romero-Centeno2, G. B. Raga2 and Jorge Zavala-Hidalgo2 1Unidad La Paz, CICESE, Mexico 2Centro de Ciencias de la Atmósfera, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico 1. INTRODUCTION Western Mexico routinely experiences landfall of those that moved onto the mainland acquired a significant tropical cyclones. Jáuregui (2003) documented that 65 eastward component by 20ºN. Additionally, most storms hurricanes approached the west coast and 60% of them developed late in the season with highest frequency made landfall in the northwestern part of the country during the last two-thirds of September (35%) and all of between 1951 and 2000. This area is located north of October (54%). In a study of the period 1966-2004, 20ºN and west of 105ºW, which includes the Baja Romero-Vadillo et al. (2007) identified this type of storm California Peninsula and the States of Nayarit, Sinaloa track and the landfall trend associated with the presence and Sonora. Also, 64% of 88 tropical storms entered this of westerly airflow at middle and upper levels. area, increasing precipitation in this very arid region. Some of these systems continued moving northward after landfall and, eventually, had an influence on the weather conditions in the southwestern United States. The records for the eastern Pacific basin, provided by the National Hurricane Center, reveal 614 tropical cyclones during 1970–2007. Figure 1 displays the tracks of the sub-group of tropical cyclones that made landfall over northwestern Mexico. The upper panel (Fig.
