Abstract The partitioning of rainfall at the land surface into interception, infiltration and runoff plays an important role in water cycle as it controls time scale which returns to atmosphere. Rainfall intensity is crucial importance this partition. High resolution convection permitting models significantly improve simulated sub-daily distributions, particular those associated with convective...

Estimates of the amount stormwater captured by urban trees have focused on rainfall intercepted leaves and branches, while runoff that flows into a tree pit from surrounding sidewalk has not been well quantified. This study estimated infiltrates first calculating tributary drainage area drains to street pits varying widths slopes. With Manhattan, New York, as case study, used i-Tree software fi...

Vegetation cover plays an essential role in the vertical and horizontal distribution of rainwater. As rainwater passes through canopy, it can be divided into interception loss, throughfall, stemflow. In areas where yerba mate is cultivated, loss influences variability water reaching soil, surface runoff, nutrient cycling. The objective this study was to evaluate stemflow, ( Iex paraguariensis )...

Management activities alter the structure of many tropical forest stands which can be expected to influence the magnitude of canopy water fluxes. The objectives of this study were to determine throughfall, stemflow and rainfall interception in differently managed forest stands, and to relate the observed pattern of rainfall partitioning to stand structural characteristics. The study was conduct...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) of small grains tends to be associated with certain environmental conditions, especially rain-induced wetness periods occurring near anthesis. A Geographic Information System-based model simulation which incorporates 4km resolution weather radar (NEXRAD)-derived precipitation estimates into a crop canopy energy balance-based scheme to estimate wetness duration periods...
