Abstract Accurate rainfall estimation is crucial to adequately assess the risk associated with extreme events capable of triggering floods and landslides. Data gathered from Rain Gauges (RGs), sensors devoted measuring intensity rain at individual points, are commonly used feed interpolation methods (e.g., Kriging geostatistical approach) estimate precipitation field over an area interest.

Abstract. Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is produced by the incomplete combustion of vegetation during wildfires and a major persistent pool global (C) cycle. However, its redistribution in landscape after fires remains largely unknown. Therefore, we conducted rainfall simulation experiments on 0.25 m2 plots with two distinct Swiss forest soils (Cambisol (clay loam) Luvisol (sandy silt)). We applied Py...

Previous studies have found broad distributions, resembling power laws for different measures of the size of rainfall events. We investigate the large-event tail of these distributions and find in one measure that tropical cyclones account for a large proportion of the very largest events outside the scaling regime, i.e., beyond the cutoff of the power law. Tropical cyclones are sufficiently ra...

Although plot-scale erosion experiments are numerous, there few studies on constructed landforms. This limits the understanding of their long-term stability, which is especially important for planning mined land rehabilitation. The objective this study was to gain insight into processes in a 30 × m trial plot mine waste rock dump tropical northern Australia. relationships between rainfall, runo...

Canopy interception, throughfall, stemflow, and runoff have received considerable attention during the study of water balance and hydrological processes in forested ecosystems. Past research has either neglected or underestimated the role of hydrological functions of litter layers, although some studies have considered the impact of various characteristics of rainfall and litter on litter inter...

BACKGROUND The river Göta Älv is a source of freshwater for 0.7 million swedes. The river is subject to contamination from sewer systems discharge and runoff from agricultural lands. Climate models projects an increase in precipitation and heavy rainfall in this region. This study aimed to determine how daily rainfall causes variation in indicators of pathogen loads, to increase knowledge of va...
