Weather modelling using a multivariate latent Gaussian model [PDF]
We propose a vector autoregressive moving average process as a model for daily weather data. For the rainfall variable a monotonic transformation is applied to achieve marginal normality, thus defining a latent variable, with zero rainfall data ...

Reanalysis of Soil Moisture Used for Rainfall Thresholds for Rainfall-Induced Landslides: The Italian Case Study [PDF]
Landslides are one of the most frequent natural disasters that can endanger human lives and property. Therefore, prediction of landslides is essential to reduce economic damage and save human lives. Numerous methods have been developed for the prediction of landslides triggering, ranging from simple methods that include empirical rainfall thresholds ...

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

Determination of rainfall thresholds for shallow landslides by a probabilistic and empirical method [PDF]
Rainfall-induced landslides not only cause property loss, but also kill and injure large numbers of people every year in mountainous areas in China. These losses and casualties may be avoided to some extent with rainfall threshold values used in an early

Regional prediction of landslide hazard using probability analysis of intense rainfall in the Hoa Binh province, Vietnam. [PDF]
The main objective of this study is to assess regional landslide hazards in the Hoa Binh province of Vietnam. A landslide inventory map was constructed from various sources with data mainly for a period of 21 years from 1990 to 2010.

Critical rainfall conditions for the initiation of torrential flows: results from the Rebaixader catchment (Central Pyrenees) [PDF]
Torrential flows like debris flows or debris floods are fast movements formed by a mix of water and different amounts of unsorted solid material. They generally occur in steep torrents and pose high risk in mountainous areas.
