Improving Rainfall Erosivity Estimates Using Merged TRMM and Gauge Data
Soil erosion is a global issue that threatens food security and causes environmental degradation. Management of water erosion requires accurate estimates of the spatial and temporal variations in the erosive power of rainfall (erosivity). Rainfall erosivity can be estimated from rain gauge stations and satellites. However, the time series rainfall data that has a high temporal resolution are of...
متن کاملTRMM satellite rainfall data
Spatial rainfall is a key input to Distributed Hydrological Models, which is the most important limitation for the accuracy of hydrological models. Model performance and uncertainty could increase when rain gauge is sparse. Satellite-based precipitation products would be an alternative to ground-based rainfall estimates in present and 5 the foreseeable future, however, it is necessary to evalua...
متن کاملRainfall erosivity in Europe.
Rainfall is one the main drivers of soil erosion. The erosive force of rainfall is expressed as rainfall erosivity. Rainfall erosivity considers the rainfall amount and intensity, and is most commonly expressed as the R-factor in the USLE model and its revised version, RUSLE. At national and continental levels, the scarce availability of data obliges soil erosion modellers to estimate this fact...
متن کاملTropical Rainfall-surface Temperature Relations Using Trmm Precipitation Data
In this study, nine-years (1998-2006) of monthly precipitation data from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) are used to examine the relations between tropical rainfall and surface temperature. A technique is developed to adjust the PR monthly rainfall data in the Tropics (whole ocean and whole land) to account for the effect of the TRMM orbit boost from 350 km to 402 km in August 2001. ...
متن کاملEstimation of rainfall erosivity using 5- to 60-minute fixed-interval rainfall data from China
The 30-min rainfall erosivity index (EI30) is commonly used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation for predicting soil loss from agricultural hillslopes. EI30 is calculated from the total kinetic energy and the maximum 30-min rainfall intensity of a storm. Normally, EI30 values are calculated from breakpoint rainfall information taken from continuous recording rain gauge charts, however, in many p...
