A review of rainfall thresholds for triggering flash floods

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2013
The rainfall threshold is an important indicator of flash flood conditions. In this study,the existing methods for computing rainfall thresholds are divided into two categories and reviewed on the basis of their technical principles.The two categories ...

Patterns of rainfall-threshold for debris-flow occurrence in the Wenchuan seismic region, Southwest China

open access: yes, 2021
In recent years, debris flows induced by rainstorms have caused severe casualties and property losses in the Wenchuan earthquake region, Southwest China. The different rainfall patterns point to a composite rainfall threshold for the occurrence of debris

Development of Landslide Early Warning System Based on the Satellite-Derived Rainfall Threshold in Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Landslide is a common natural disaster occurring in Indonesia during the rainy season from November to February. Attempts have been made to develop an early warning system based on the rainfall derived from satellite observation.

Estimation of TRMM rainfall for landslide occurrences based on rainfall threshold analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Landslide can be triggered by intense or prolonged rainfall. Precipitation data obtained from ground-based observation is very accurate and commonly used to do analysis and landslide prediction.

A Landslide Numerical Factor Derived from CHIRPS for Shallow Rainfall Triggered Landslides in Colombia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Despite great advances in remote sensing technologies, accurate satellite information is sometimes challenged in tropical regions where dense vegetation prevents the instruments from retrieving reliable readings.

Establishing a threshold for rainfall-induced landslides by a kinetic energy–duration relationship

open access: yes, 2020
Many investigators have attempted to define the threshold of landslide failure, that is, the level of the selected climatic variable above which a rainfall-induced landslide occurs.

Probabilistic Envelope Curves for Extreme Rainfall Events - Curve Inviluppo Probabilistiche per Precipitazioni Estreme [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A regional envelope curve (REC) of flood flows summarises the current bound on our experience of extreme floods in a region. RECs are available for most regions of the world.
