Empirical atmospheric thresholds for debris flows and flash floods in the southern French Alps [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Debris flows and flash floods are often preceded by intense, convective rainfall. The establishment of reliable rainfall thresholds is an important component for quantitative hazard and risk assessment, and for the development of an early warning system.

Reanalysis of Soil Moisture Used for Rainfall Thresholds for Rainfall-Induced Landslides: The Italian Case Study [PDF]
Water, 2021 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]
, 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.
