Evaluation and application of multi-source satellite rainfall product CHIRPS to assess spatio-temporal rainfall variability on data-sparse Western margins of Ethiopian Highlands [PDF]
, 2019 The spatio-temporal characteristic of rainfall in the Beles Basin of Ethiopia is poorly understood, mainly due to lack of data. With recent advances in remote sensing, satellite derived rainfall products have become alternative sources of rainfall data ...

Effect of Soil and Water Conservation Measures on Runoff and Sediment Yield from Purple Soil Slopes Under Different Rainfall Patterns [PDF]
长江科学院院报[Objective] Previous studies in China on slope erosion characteristics under rainfall patterns have primarily focused on the loess region of Northwest China and red soil region of South China. Research on the purple soil region remains limited.

Rainfall intensity patterns derived from the urban network of Barcelona (NE Spain) [PDF]
, 2017 An analysis of the normalised rainfall intensity curves in Barcelona (NE Spain) has been undertaken from selected rain rate episodes recorded by an urban network of tipping buckets applying a 5-min integration time along the years 1994–2009. These curves,

Estimating rainfall erosivity from daily precipitation records: a comparison among methods using data from the Ebro Basin (NE Spain) [PDF]
, 2009 Among the major factors controlling soil erosion, as vegetation cover or soil erodibility, rainfall erosivity has a paramount importance since it is difficult to predict and control by humans.

Periodic variations of precipitation in the tropical Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Statistical analysis of the satellite-borne Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer data in the tropical Atlantic region reveals that the rainfall near local noon is higher both in frequency of occurrence and intensity than the rainfall in the same ...

Multifractality, imperfect scaling and hydrological properties of rainfall time series simulated by continuous universal multifractal and discrete random cascade models [PDF]
, 2010 Discrete multiplicative random cascade (MRC) models were extensively studied and applied to disaggregate rainfall data, thanks to their formal simplicity and the small number of involved parameters.

A joint probability approach to flood frequency estimation using Monte Carlo simulation [PDF]
, 2010 In the UK, flood estimation using event based rainfall–runoff modelling currently assigns pre-defined design values to the input variables which control the size of the flow events, apart from the rainfall magnitude which is treated as a random variable.
