Evaluation of Annual Rainfall Erosivity Index Based on Daily, Monthly, and Annual Precipitation Data of Rainfall Station Network in Southern Taiwan

Annual Monthly Rainfall in Berhampore, &c.

Mapping monthly rainfall erosivity in Europe

Rainfall erosivity as a dynamic factor of soil loss by water erosion is modelled intra-annually for the first time at European scale. The development of Rainfall Erosivity Database at European Scale (REDES) and its 2015 update with the extension to monthly component allowed to develop monthly and seasonal R-factor maps and assess rainfall erosivity both spatially and temporally. During winter m...

Application of Geostatistics in Time Series: Mashhad Annual Rainfall

There are numerous methods for data fillingin hydrology. Most, however, are based oncorrelations with nearby stations in a generalscheme of regionalization. These methods,though robust, fail to function when andwhere all the near stations are missed-datatoo. The Mashhad synoptic station has annualrainfall data over a 50 year period from 1951to 2000 and historic rainfall data from 1893 to1940, j...

Rainfall erosivity in Europe.

Rainfall is one the main drivers of soil erosion. The erosive force of rainfall is expressed as rainfall erosivity. Rainfall erosivity considers the rainfall amount and intensity, and is most commonly expressed as the R-factor in the USLE model and its revised version, RUSLE. At national and continental levels, the scarce availability of data obliges soil erosion modellers to estimate this fact...

Calibration and Testing of a Daily Rainfall Erosivity Model

A general procedure is presented for calibrating a model for rainfall erosivity based on daily rainfall. The approach is based on probability distributions of wet-day precipitation amount and monthly erosivities which are inferred from published data summaries. The calibrated model was tested by comparisons with erosivities computed from hourly precipitation data. Model results were generally c...
