Measurement and computation of kinetic energy of simulated rainfall in comparison with natural rainfall [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2018 Rainfall characteristics such as total amount and rainfall intensity (I) are important inputs in calculating the kinetic energy (KE) of rainfall. Although KE is a crucial indicator of the raindrop potential to disrupt soil aggregates, it is not a ...

The influence of simulated rainfall on the removal of retained particulate matter on the surface of lawn grass leaves [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceRainfall can wash the surface atmospheric particulate matter (PM) into the soil, and restore the PM retention function of the turfgrass blades. The dynamic process of PM removal on turfgrass blades concerning rainfall intensity and duration was ...

Evaluation of Rainfall Interception by Vegetation Using a Rainfall Simulator [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Interception by vegetation is one of the main variables controlling hydrological and geo-environmental problems such as erosion, landslides and floods. Interception, along with precipitation and evapotranspiration, is required for the modeling of infiltration, percolation and runoff.

Rainfall simulation experiments in the Southwestern USA using the Walnut Gulch Rainfall Simulator [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2017 Abstract. The dataset contains hydrological, erosion, vegetation, ground cover, and other supplementary information from 272 rainfall simulation experiments conducted on 23 semi-arid rangeland locations in Arizona and Nevada between 2002 and 2013. On 30 % of the plots simulations were conducted up to five times during the decade of study.
