Rainfall interception by eight small trees

Journal of Hydrology, 1979
Abstract Interception studies were undertaken on individual plants of selected tree species under a rainfall simulator. The results give insight to the process of interception, provide information on the level of the interception storage of the test species and illustrate the importance of leaf area. Two interception models were tested.

A stochastic model of rainfall interception

Journal of Hydrology, 1986
Abstract A stochastic model of rainfall interception is proposed which relates, via the Poisson probability distribution, the mean number of raindrops retained on elemental surface areas to the mean number of raindrop strikes per element. The model provides a rational explanation of the observation that canopies wet up in a gradual, asymptotic manner.

Dependence of rainfall interception on drop size – a comment

Journal of Hydrology, 1999
In a series of three articles Calder, Hall and colleagues have recently presented an extension of Calder’s original stochastic model of rainfall interception. In their model, the dependence of rainfall interception on raindrop size is explicitly taken into account.

A comparison of models simulating rainfall interception of forests

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 1993
Rainfall interception models have been validated using observations from a coniferous forest in France and a deciduous forest in the Netherlands. The models differ in level of complexity. This complexity, however, appears to have only a secondary effect on the results.

Modeling rainfall interception loss components of forests

Journal of Hydrology, 2020
Abstract Interception loss, I, the amount of precipitation intercepted by forests and evaporated back to the atmosphere plays important roles in the water balance and the climate system by removing approximately one quarter of the annual precipitation from the terrestrial hydrologic cycle.

Interception losses of rainfall from Cashew trees

Journal of Hydrology, 1987
Abstract The rainfall interception losses from Cashew trees were quantified, based on the records of 105 selected storms within the range ⩽ 25.0 mm, occurring in a humid tropical region at Kottamparamba, India. The storage capacity of the Cashew trees was worked out as 0.8 mm and the throughfall coefficient as 0.391. The trees under observation were

A Description of Rainfall Interception over Large Areas

Journal of Climate, 1993
A new scheme is developed for describing interception at spatial scales comparable to the typical resolution of climate models. The scheme is based on the Rutter model of interception and statistical description of the subgrid-scale spatial variability of canopy storage and rainfall.

Rainfall Interception by Plants: An Experimental Note

Ecology, 1923
In the investigation of the atmospheric phenomena which owe their origin to the presence of some form of water in the atmosphere only a little has been accomplished by experimental means in the matter of the determination of their mechanical interception by objects in their path. Dr. R.

Interception storage of rainfall by corn plants

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1950
The processes resulting in interception and interception storage of rainfall by corn plants are discussed and terms defined. Values for two components of interception storage on mature corn plants have been determined under several conditions. The dominant factor affecting the value for residual interception storage on mature corn is the plant ...

Interception of rainfall by mature lodgepole‐pine

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1941
With increasing demands on available water‐supplies for agricultural, industrial, and domestic use, the central Rocky Mountains have become one of the most important water‐yielding areas in the western United States. Since the water‐producing area of these mountain is largely occupied by national forests, a serious responsibility is borne by the Forest
