Spatial distribution characteristics of splashing rainfall caused by nappe flow impingement on a plunge pool

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Splashing is the main atomization source for a jet impinging on a liquid layer. Increased understanding of splashing rainfall characteristics can help to reduce the hazard of flood discharge atomization in hydraulic engineering.

Evaluation of the WRF Model to Simulate a High-Intensity Rainfall Event over Kampala, Uganda

open access: yes, 2021
This paper aimed at evaluating the high-intensity rainfall data produced using the numerical weather prediction model, the WRF model, to be used for localized flood modelling in the data-scarce area. The performance of the model is evaluated by comparing

Analysis of Urban Flood Inundation Patterns According to Rainfall Intensity Using a Rainfall Simulator in the Sadang Area of South Korea

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
An urban flood in the Sadang area located in South Korea was reproduced using a rainfall simulator. The rainfall simulator was developed to be able to demonstrate the rainfall intensity in range of 80−200 mm/h, and the artificial rainfall was ...

Errors and uncertainties in microwave link rainfall estimation explored using drop size measurements and high-resolution radar data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Microwave links can be used for the estimation of path-averaged rainfall by using either the path-integrated attenuation or the difference in attenuation of two signals with different frequencies and/or polarizations.
