Precipitation is a major input in hydrological models. Radar rainfall data compared with rain gauge measurements provide higher spatial and temporal resolutions. However, radar data obtained form reflectivity patterns are subject to various errors such as errors in reflectivity-rainfall Z-R relationships, variation in vertical profile of reflectivity, and spatial and temporal sampling among oth...

As determining the probability of exceedance maximum precipitation over a specified duration is critical to hydrotechnical design, particularly in context climate change, model was developed perform frequency analysis duration. The PMAXΤP (Precipitation MAXimum Time (duration) Probability) harbors pair computational modules fulfilling different roles: (i) statistical series, and (ii) estimation...

Rainfall erosivity is the ability of precipitation to erode soil. Microerosion processes due to the impact of raindrops on the soil – rainsplash – represent an important mechanism of detachment of soil particles, which might be removed thereafter by surface runoff. The annual and interannual patterns of rainfall erosivity are controlled by the variability of rainfall intensity. This study analy...

r a 200 .061 : +64 4 3 iwa.co.n Summary This study is devoted to simulation of the interannual variability of daily rainfall, such as the mean and variance of seasonal rainfall totals and the correlation between seasonal rainfall totals and a seasonal climate variable (e.g., an index of atmospheric or oceanic circulation). Prior work established that a mixture of chain-dependent processes, invo...

introduction rainfall erosivity, the propulsion or power of causing erosion in separation and transport of soil particles, is in relation to water erosion. rainfall erosion is causing loss of soil, damage to agriculture and infrastructures which is followed by water pollution. changes in rainfall patterns exacerbate risk of erosion globally. rainfall erosivity plays an effective role in soil er...

introductionthe use of climatic and natural variables in the regulation of agricultural activities has a particular importance. of the important characteristics of climate are the onset and retreat dates of main rainy season which have a determining role in the agricultural activities such as seeding time, cultivation period and other agricultural programs and strategies like irrigation. iran r...

precipitation is one of important parameters of climatology and atmospheric science that have more importance in human life. recently, extensive flood and drought entered many damage to most parts of the world. precipitation forecasting and alerts management role is responsible for these problems. today, artificial neural networks are one of developed method that applied for estimate and predic...

In this paper, fractal dimensional analysis is used to investigate the Tamil Nadu rainfall dynamics. Here, the time series data of Tamil Nadu rainfall (annual, south west and northeast) has been analyzed using Detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA). For estimating the 110 years rainfall data, the scaling exponent analysis is used. The result shows a varying degree of persistence over shorter and ...
