Landslide and Debris Flow Characteristics during Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan
As the global climate changes, the threat from landslides and debris flows increases. Learning how a watershed initiates landslides under abnormal rainfall conditions and predicting landslide magnitude and frequency distribution is thus important. Landslides show a power-law distribution in the frequency-area distribution. The distribution curve shows an exponent gradient 1.0 in the Sandpile mo...
متن کاملCharacterizing the response of a catchment to an extreme rainfall event using hydrometric and isotopic data
[1] In this study we investigate an event-scale transit time distribution (TTD) for a catchment located in the Santa Catalina Mountains northeast of downtown Tucson, Arizona, USA, during a series of extreme rainfall events. Traditionally, TTD studies look at the long time response of a catchment to an input variation in tracer concentration. Few studies have determined the TTD at the scale of a...
متن کاملModelling Impact of Extreme Rainfall on Sanitary Sewer System by Predicting Rainfall Derived Infiltration/Inflow
Extreme climate events are becoming more intense in Melbourne in recent years. This increasing intensity of excessive rainfall has an adverse effect on the sewer network by causing sewage overflow hazards. Extreme rainfall events increase flow into the sewer system, both directly (inflow) and through infiltration into sewer. As a result of this Rainfall Derived Infiltration and Inflow (RDII), S...
متن کاملUrban-Induced Mechanisms for an Extreme Rainfall Event in Beijing China: A Satellite Perspective
Using 1 km satellite remote sensing observations, this paper examines the clouds, aerosols, water vapor and surface skin temperature over Beijing to understand the possible urban system contributions to the extreme rainfall event on 21 July 2012 (i.e., 721 event). Remote sensing measurements, with the advantage of high spatial resolution and coverage, reveal three key urban-related mechanisms: ...
