Rainfall Interception by a Forest Canopy

Oikos, 1968
It was found that the phenomenon of rainfall interception by a forest stand can be expressed by Mitscherlich equation (3). Using the data observed in a deciduous stand in Bialowieza (Poland) they have approximately determined the values of the coefficients of this equation (3 a). Consequently they expressed the amount of the rainfall inside the forest (

Global canopy interception from satellite observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010
A new methodology for estimating forest rainfall interception from multisatellite observations is presented. The Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH) precipitation product is used as driving data and is applied to Gash's analytical model to derive daily interception rates at global scale. Results compare well with field observations of

Quantification of Canopy Interception and Cloud Interception in the Elevated Forests of Norfolk Island

2023
The higher elevation forests of Norfolk Island are regularly immersed in the clouds and scientific and anecdotal evidence suggests that in addition to rainfall, water is likely to be collected as cloud droplets are intercepted by the forest canopy.

Rainfall Interception Loss by Forest Canopies

2011
When rain falls onto a forest a proportion is intercepted by the canopy and evaporates back into the atmosphere, playing no further part in the terrestrial portion of the hydrologic cycle. This canopy interception loss, I c, can be appreciable (Table 20.1).
