Synoptic and Mesoscale Atmospheric Patterns That Triggered the Natural Disasters in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in January 2020 by Thaís Aparecida Cortez Pinto, Enrique Vieira Mattos, Michelle Simões Reboita, Diego Oliveira de Souza, Paula S. S. Oda, Fabrina Bolzan Martins, Thiago Souza Biscaro, Glauber Willian de Souza Ferreira

“…Clouds and precipitating cells, with cloud-top temperatures below −65 °C, over several days contributed to the high precipitation volumes and lightning activity. Prolonged rainfall, with a maximum of 240 mm day⁻¹ and 48 mm h⁻¹, combined with the region’s soil characteristics, enhanced water infiltration and was critical in triggering and intensifying natural disasters. …”

THE ROLE OF MONOVALENT IONS IN THE DETERIORATION OF SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CALCAREOUS SOILS IN NORTHERN IRAQ by Saja Albarzanjy, Mohamed Al-Obaidi, Hazim Ahmed

“…For ten successive pore volumes for approximately 16 weeks. The flow of electrolyte solution through the columns led to increasing additions of mono cations (K+) that negatively affected the deterioration of different soil groups by sliding their colloids from the original aggregate, causing dispersion of clay colloids dominated by montmorillonite mineral with high ability to swell and disperse clay particles and sliding organic materials, which led to a decrease in the weighted diameter index from 6.18 to 5.43 mm, which led to the deterioration of the soil and a decrease in its water conductivity for all soils from 3.39 to 1.61 cm.h-1. we suggest that the effect of potassium should be taken into account in evaluating soil structure.…”
