Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP), a process based erosion model that computes spatial and temporal distributions of surface runoff, soil loss and sediment deposition from overland flow on hillslopes and soil loss and sediment deposition from concentrated flow in small channels. In the present study, surface runoff and soil loss were simulated in a mini watershed (57 ha) of Sitlarao water...

A suitable qualification module for rain intensity measurement instruments is proposed based on an automatic procedure for dynamic calibration of traditional Tipping Bucket Raingauges (TBRs). Following an initial background of dedicated laboratory tests, which assisted in producing reference calibration curves for various types of commercial gauges from different manufacturing companies, the ef...

the objectives of this study were to understand the rainfall characteristics of thewind-water erosion crisscross region on the northern loess plateau, china, to provide basisfor the studies on mitigation of soil erosion, estimation on surface water resources andlocal hydrological circle, etc. the liudaogou catchment with representative climatic andhydrologic conditions of wind-water erosion cri...

This paper describes two methods for generating synthetic rain rate time-series capable of being used to simulate the performance of radio communication systems operating above 10 GHz. Rain rates are modelled because they are widely available and because an approximate link to signal attenuation can be established owing to the significant correlation between them. The proposed models are based ...

Short Title: Prediction of Link Diversity Statistics. Abstract The average annual rain attenuation statistics experienced by individual microwave links are well understood. ITU-R models exist for the prediction of these statistics and they are used to assign power levels to links to achieve the desired availability. The performance of networks such as mulit-hop links or links utilising route, f...

Rainfall intensity estimates by passive microwave (PMW) measurements from space perform generally better over the sea surface with respect to land, due to the problems in separating true rain signatures from those produced by surfaces having similar spectral behaviour (e.g. snow, ice, desert and semiarid grounds). The screening procedure aimed at recognizing the various surface types and delimi...

The relationship between the rainfall intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF) is widely used in water resources engineering designing hydraulic structures, such as culverts sewage systems, for reducing controlling floods. In this study, curves of were found five rain stations registered different regions northern Iraq, i.e., Mosul, Tal-Afar, Sinjar, Rabia, Tal-Abta, periods extending from 1990...

The relation between wind-driven rain (WDR) and its potential negative effects on the hygrothermal performance and durability of building facades can be better understood by the correct estimation of the spatial and temporal distribution of the WDR intensity. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with Eulerian Multiphase (EM) modeling are used to obtain accurate spatial and temporal in...
