The influence of rainfall on the extinction coefficient and the meteorological optical range

Atmósfera
The meteorological optical range (MOR) is an objective parameter for assessing atmospheric visibility. Data collected using optical disdrometers (PWS100) were used to analyze MOR estimates when extreme rainfalls occurred at two locations in Mexico: Chamela, on the Pacific coast, and Juriquilla, a continental sampling site.

Site- and rainfall-specific runoff coefficients and critical rainfall for mega-gully development in Kinshasa (DR Congo)

Natural Hazards, 2015
This article presents a field-based method to assess site- and rainfall-specific runoff coefficients to be expected for a given period of the year. The method is applied to recognize soil uses/covers leading to reduced runoff water supply of gullies in Kinshasa.

Effects of the catchment runoff coefficient on the performance of TOPMODEL in rainfall–runoff modelling

Hydrological Processes, 2004
AbstractEffects of the catchment runoff coefficient on the performance of TOPMODEL in simulating catchment rainfall–runoff relationships are investigated in this paper, with an aim to improve TOPMODEL's simulation efficiency in catchments with a low runoff coefficient. Application of TOPMODEL in the semi‐arid Yihe catchment, with an area of 2623 km2 in

The study of MIMO channel correlation coefficient in the rainfall environment for satellite communications

2013 5th IEEE International Symposium on Microwave, Antenna, Propagation and EMC Technologies for Wireless Communications, 2013
Achieving the high capacity of MIMO system and improving the MIMO system performances, and determining the quality using the different signal processing algorithms in the MIMO system are greatly depended on the characteristics of the MIMO channel, particularly, the correlation between the antennas.

Water Excess and Deficits using Coefficient of Variation of Weekly Rainfall

Journal of Agricultural Engineering (India), 2002
The weekly rainfall data for a period of 39 years from 1947 to 1985 at Sehore and 35 years weekly rainfall and 17 years evaporation data of Jabalpur, were analysed and the average weekly rainfall (AWR), standard deviation (S) and the coefficient of variation (C) were evaluated.

Coefficient of variation of annual flood peaks: variability of flood peak and rainfall intensity

Hydrological Processes, 2008
AbstractScaling can be a powerful solution for predictions in ungauged basins (PUB). Since becoming a principal scaling tool, the theory concerning the index flood method has been criticized because it requires some scaling conditions that are satisfied in few river basins.

Optimum Rainfall Interval and Manning’s Roughness Coefficient for Runoff Simulation

Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2008
To simulate a runoff hydrograph from an overland plane or from a catchment that is subject to natural rainfall, the use of a computer model is essential. To develop such a model, among other parameters, the modeler is required to specify rainfall interval, rainfall data for that interval, and Manning’s roughness coefficient (Manning’s n ) of the plane ...

Rainfall scavenging coefficients for atmospheric nitric acid and nitrate in a subtropical coastal environment

Atmospheric Environment, 2008
Abstract Hourly-measured gas concentrations and 24-h integrated PM10 concentrations were used in conjunction with a below-cloud scavenging model to explain nitrate (NO3−) concentrations in rainwater samples collected at a bayside monitoring site in Tampa, Florida, USA.

Validation of the TRMM Multi Satellite Rainfall Product 3B42 and estimation of scavenging coefficients for 131I and 137Cs using TRMM 3B42 rainfall data

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2014
The TRMM rainfall product 3B42 is compared with rain gauge observations for Kaiga, India on monthly and seasonal time scales. This comparison is carried out for the years 2004-2007 spanning four monsoon seasons. A good correlation is obtained between the two data sets however; magnitude wise, the cumulative precipitation of the satellite product on ...

Effects of velocity, temperature and rainfall on the friction coefficient of pneumatic tyres and bitumen roads

2014
A world without friction would be a world of destruction. Friction is a consequence of the laws of physics. The laws of motion and friction predict that kinetic friction will not be affected by velocity, ambient temperature and rainfall. This hypothesis developed hundreds of years ago is based primarily on research of objects and surfaces with metallic
