    Factors influencing the variations of PM10 aerosol dust in Klang Valley, Malaysia during the summer
    (Elsevier, 2011) Liew Juneng; Mohd Talib Latif; Fredolin Tangang
    The associations between the variations of PM10 concentration during summer monsoon dry seasons over the Klang Valley, Malaysia and the local meteorological factors, synoptic weather conditions as well as the regional hotspots number were examined based on simple multiple linear regression analysis. The regressive relationships established, suggest that the variation of PM10 in Klang Valley was governed significantly by all of the examined factors. Local meteorological conditions are among those factors which governed the largest day-to-day variations of PM10 concentration in the Klang Valley areas during the dry season.

    Future projections of Malaysia daily precipitation characteristics using bias correction technique
    (Elsevier, 2020) Sheau Tieh Ngai; Liew Junenga; Fredolin Tangang; Jing Xiang Chunga; Ester Salimuna; Mou Leong Tan; Siti Amalia
    The quantile mapping (QM) bias correction algorithm was applied to bias-correcting the daily rainfall over the Malaysia based on the APHRODITE gridded observed dataset. The quality of the bias correction in reducing the biases of regional climate models in frequency (FREQ), mean intensity (SDII) and 90th percentile (Q90) of the daily rainfall was assessed.

    Haze is a common phenomenon afflicting Southeast Asia (SEA), including Malaysia, and has occurred almost every year within the last few decades. Haze is associated with high level of air pollutants; it reduces visibility and affects human health in the affected SEA countries. This manuscript aims to review the potential origin, chemical compositions, impacts and mitigation strategies of haze in Malaysia.

    Investigating the mechanisms of diurnal rainfall variability over Peninsular Malaysia using the non-hydrostatic regional climate model
    (Springer, 2017) Ahmad Fairudz Jamaluddin; Fredolin Tangang; Jing Xiang Chung; Liew Juneng; Hidetaka Sasaki; Izuru Takayabu
    This study aims to provide a basis for understanding the mechanisms of diurnal rainfall variability over Peninsular Malaysia by utilising the Non-Hydrostatic Regional Climate Model (NHRCM). The present day climate simulations at 5 km resolution over a period of 20 years, from 1st December 1989 to 31st January 2010 were conducted using the six-hourly Japanese re-analysis 55 years (JRA-55) data and monthly Centennial in situ Observation Based Estimates (COBE) of sea surface temperature as lateral and lower boundary conditions.
