Concerning natural hazards, those linked to rain are very important for mankind, because of the risk induced. In Mediterranean regions and in numerous parts of the world, summer drought and heavy rains are basically the two major climatic hazards. The second one (snow problems and road accidents excepted) is not dangerous because of itself, but because

The microstructure of heavy rainfall in the Netherlands
2023Raindrop size distributions (DSDs) are the main tool for describing and discussing rain microphysics. They play a crucial role in remote sensing of precipitation and extensive efforts have been devoted to measuring and modeling them. However, when it comes to DSDs in extreme rain, very few, reliable, results are available.

Disaster avoidance control against heavy rainfall
IEEE INFOCOM 2017 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications, 2017This paper proposes a disaster avoidance control method for use against heavy rainfall and discusses its effectiveness through actual weather data. The proposed control method uses geographical information data including weather data, hazard area data, and physical network data.

Heavy rainfall occurrences in northeast India
International Journal of Climatology, 2012AbstractIn operational meteorology, forecasting heavy rainfall (HRF) events has been a long‐standing challenge in India. This is especially true in certain regions where the physical geography lends itself to the creation of such HRF events. Northeast India (NEI) is one such region within the Asian monsoon zone, which receive very HRF during the pre ...

Fast response of groundwater to heavy rainfall
Journal of Hydrology, 2019Abstract Groundwater recharge by precipitation is often assumed by practitioners as well as scientists to be a slow process of filtration through layers of uniform texture analogous to Darcy’s law. In most basins, however, rainwater also finds its way through macropores and preferential pathways to the shallow unconfined aquifers within hours of ...

Heavy Rainfall and Flash Flooding
2017Abstract Heavy precipitation, which in many contexts is welcomed because it provides the water necessary for agriculture and human use, in other situations is responsible for deadly and destructive flash flooding. Over the 30-year period from 1986 to 2015, floods were responsible for more fatalities in the United States than any other

On deterministic criteria for heavy rainfall at a point
Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1993After a brief discussion of deterministic versus statistical criteria for heavy rainfall at a point, a general deterministic criterion is derived by dimensional analysis. From this general criterion, several well-known criteria can be obtained as special cases.
