Intensive rainfall recharges tropical groundwaters [PDF]

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Dependence upon groundwater to meet rising agricultural and domestic water needs is expected to increase substantially across the tropics where, by 2050, over half of the world’s population is projected to live. Rare, long-term groundwater-level records in the tropics indicate that groundwater recharge occurs disproportionately from heavy rainfalls ...

Return period curves for extreme 5-min rainfall amounts at the Barcelona urban network [PDF]

, 2019
Heavy rainfall episodes are relatively common in the conurbation of Barcelona and neighbouring cities (NE Spain), usually due to storms generated by convective phenomena in summer and eastern and south-eastern advections in autumn.

Rainfall kinetic energy–intensity and rainfall momentum–intensity relationships for Cape Verde

Journal of Hydrology, 2012
Momentum and kinetic energy of rainfall are widely used indices to describe erosivity, the ability of rainfall to detach soil particles and erode the landscape. An optical laser disdrometer was installed in Santiago Island, Cape Verde, between September 2008 and September 2010 to measure rainfall intensity and size distribution of raindrops.

Climatic and oceanic associations with daily rainfall extremes over southern Africa [PDF]

, 2006
Changes in climate variability and, in particular, changes in extreme climate events are likely to be of far more significance for environmentally vulnerable regions than changes in the mean state.

Modelling of rainfall intensity in a watershed: A case study in Amprong watershed, Kedungkandang, Malang, East Java of Indonesia

Journal of Water and Land Development, 2018
Analysis of rainfall intensity with specific probability is very important to control the negative impact of rainfall occurrence. Rainfall intensity (I), probability (p) and return period (T) are very important variables for the discharge analysis. There

Precipitation impacts on earthen architecture for better implementation of cultural resource management in the US Southwest

Heritage Science, 2021
Changing seasonal precipitation patterns prompted by climate change are likely causing increasing degradation of adobe architecture in the American Southwest. This deterioration includes surface erosion and catastrophic collapse.

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

Frontiers 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.
