Groundwater resources of small coral islands are threatened due to short-term and long-term changes in climate. A significant short-term threat is El Niño events, which typically induce a severe months-long drought for many atoll nations in the western and central Pacific regions that exhausts rainwater supply and necessitates the use of groundwater. This study quantifies fresh groundwater reso...

Rainfall is the key climatic variable that governs regional hydrologic cycle and availability of water resources. trend analysis in a localized watershed can improve many aspects resource management not only to catchment itself but also some related other catchments. The monthly rainfall data over Cherrapunji Meghalaya India for period 1872-2007 has been carried out this work. While magnitude t...

Recently, D’Odorico and Fagherazzi (2003) proposed “A probabilistic model of rainfall-triggered shallow landslides in hollows” (Water Resour. Res., 39, 2003). Their model describes the long-term evolution of colluvial deposits through a probabilistic soil mass balance at a point. Further building blocks of the model are: an infinite-slope stability analysis; a steady-state kinematic wave model ...

The Australian monsoon delivers seasonal rain across a vast area of the continent stretching from far northern tropics to semi-arid regions. This article provides review advances in rainfall (AUMR) research and supporting analysis AUMR variability, observed trends, future projections. displays high degree interannual variability with standard deviation approximately 34% mean. is mostly driven b...

This study aims to create a 21-year, high spatiotemporal resolution Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP) rainfall product adjusted by rain gauge measurements over the Indian mainland and highlighted importance Meteorological Department (IMD) daily gridded generate GSMaP products landmass. The targeted resolutions are hourly 0.1° × 0.1°. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration C...
