Reconstruction of past rainfall erosivity and trend detection based on the REDES database and reanalysis rainfall [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology, 2020
Rainfall erosivity is the driving force of soil erosion and it is characterized by a large variability in space and time. In order to obtain robust estimates of rainfall erosivity, long series of high-frequency rainfall data are needed, which are often ...

Analyzing temporal changes in climate erosivity using a simplified rainfall erosivity model in Basilicata (southern Italy) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology, 2008
The objective of this work was to investigate the magnitude, frequency and trends of rainfall erosivity in Basilicata (southern Italy), as an initial step in the study of the consequences of climatic change on soil environments in the central ...

Linking Gully Erosion and Rainfall Erosivity

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
Gully erosion is an ancient and important worldwide problem capable of dramatically increasing sediment yields when active. Rainfall erosivity is a key variable in this phenomenon. However, there are few studies that explore the relationship between rainfall erosivity and gully erosion.

Modeling of Rainfall Erosion

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1985
A combined stochastic and deterministic method has been devel­ oped to evaluate soil erosion from overland flow. The exponential distributions for rainfall duration and intensity are combined with rainfall-runoff relation­ ships for discrete storms. A general equation for.sediment discharge is sug­ gested from dimensional analysis with different sets ...

Rainfall erosivity in Brazil

2023
The phenomenon known as rainfall erosivity (RE) expresses the ability of rainfall to cause soil erosion. Thus, the estimation of RE magnitudes is relevant for understanding how the erosive processes vary in time and space. Considering this, the present thesis explores the main aspects of RE in Brazil.

Rainfall Erosivity in Austria

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
15-min rainfall depth time series recorded at 51 rain gauges in two Austrian states (Lower and Upper Austria) situated in the northern and eastern part of the country have been used to calculate long-term rainfall erosivities, average erosivities of single storms, and number and average rainfall intensities of these storms.

Rainfalls and Storm Erosivity

2013
Changes in the spatial and temporal features of rainfall patterns may have important effects on the magnitude and timing of erosive storms, which will in turn result in changes in landscape response. Mediterranean Europe regions are characterized by strong climatic variability, where dry periods are interrupted by pulsing rainstorms throughout the year.

Extreme rainfall, rainfall erosivity, and hillslope erosion in Australian Alpine region and their future changes

International Journal of Climatology, 2019
AbstractThe Australian Alpine region is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events such as heavy rainfall and snow falls, these events subsequently impact rainfall erosivity and hillslope erosion in the region. In this study, the relationship between extreme rainfall indices (ERIs) and rainfall erosivity was examined across the Alpine region in New ...

Rainfall, Rivers, and Erosion

Geological Magazine, 1944
Although there are in existence numberless books, many of them of great excellence, dealing with the effects of denudation (Geomorphology) nevertheless long experience and much reading seem to show that the more descriptive side of the subject, the result of the processes, has received more attention than the actual mechanism by which the results have ...

Rainfall erosion model

Eurasian Soil Science, 2010
A model describing rainfall erosion over the course of a long time period is proposed. The model includes: (1) a new equation of detachment of soil particles by water flows based on the Mirtskhulava equation; (2) a new equation for the transport capacity of the flow based on a modified Bagnold equation, which is used in the AGNPS model; (3) modified ...
