This paper presents rainfall erosivity values derived from a 7-year rainfall recording in the Cape Verde islands, Central East Atlantic. The data set consisted of 63 storm events, continuously registered in 15-min intervals. Kinetic energy of storm rainfall corresponded to established values in other tropical locations. Two algorithms to estimate erosivity, expressed as energy times intensity, ...

Rainfall is one of the most significant parameters in a hydrological model. Several models have been developed to analyze and predict the rainfall forecast. In recent years, wavelet techniques have been widely applied to various water resources research because of their timefrequency representation. In this paper an attempt has been made to find an alternative method for rainfall prediction by ...

Accurate estimation of rainfall in mountainous areas is necessary for various water resource-related applications. Though rain gauges accurately measure rainfall, they are rarely found in mountainous regions and satellite rainfall data can be used as an alternative source over these regions. This study evaluated the performance of three high-resolution satellite rainfall products, the Tropical ...

abstract potential evapotranspiration is one of basic parameter in hydrologic cycle that should be estimate in irrigation design and scheduling, watershed hydrology studies. many applications in diverse disciplines require estimates of evapotranspiration (et) at hourly or smaller time steps. the primary objectives of this study were to compare the american society of civil engineers (asce) and ...

Climate change is a global issue that has impact on every living being in the world. Since Malaysia is located in the tropical area where there is no distinct four seasons, analysing rainfall has therefore become one of the common assessment tools for climate change. In this study, rainfall trends and spatial variations of Langat River Basin will be determined for the period of 1971-2012. Only ...

Aim: A study was undertaken to develop a forecasting model for predicting bluetongue outbreaks in North-west agroclimatic zone of Tamil Nadu, India. Materials and Methods: Eleven bluetongue outbreaks were characterised by active and passive surveillances for a period of twelve years and used in this study. Meteorological data comprising of maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity, ra...
