Comparison of rainfall-runoff models for flood forecasting. Part 2: Calibration and evaluation of models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The purpose of the project “Comparison of Rainfall-Runoff Models for Flood Forecasting” is to provide guidance to the Environment Agency on the choice of rainfall-runoff model for use in different catchments for flood forecasting purposes.

Soil crusting in Western Samoa. Part II - Experimental investigation of factors influencing crust formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
The Alafua Penetrometer was used to measure relative differences in soil crust strength. Crust strength and thickness were shown to increase with increases in rainfall amount, drying time, droplet size, kinetic energy and soil clay and silt content.

Effects of patterned Artemisia capillaris on overland flow resistance under varied rainfall intensities in the Loess Plateau of China

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology and Hydromechanics, 2014
In this paper simulated rainfall experiments in laboratory were conducted to quantify the effects oƒ patchy distributed Artemisia capillaris on spatial and temporal variations oƒ the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient (f).

On the possibility of calibrating urban storm-water drainage models using gauge-based adjusted radar rainfall estimates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Traditionally, urban storm water drainage models have been calibrated using only raingauge data, which may result in overly conservative models due to the lack of spatial description of rainfall.

The Soil and Water Conservation Effects of Different Plant Communities and Biological Soil Crust Symbiosis Patterns in the Ecologically Fragile Area of Central Ningxia

open access: yesLand
Biological soil crusts are complex biological soil layers formed by mosses, lichens, cyanobacteria, and the underlying soil, which together with plants affect rainfall infiltration, surface runoff, soil evaporation, and water movement in the soil.

Monitoring changes in precipitation and radiative energy using satellite data and climate models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Current changes in the tropical hydrological cycle, including water vapour and precipitation, are presented over the period 1979-2008 based on a diverse suite of observational datasets and atmosphere-only climate models.

Análise da climatologia de precipitação simulada em escala regional usando downscaling dinâmico sobre a região norte do nordeste do Brasil.

open access: yesRevista Tecnologia, 2009
It is presented the results of a evaluation to seasonal rainfall (February to May) in Northeast of Brazil simulating (1971-2000) to a Regional Spectral Model (RSM97) development at National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) nested in General ...

Water Infiltration in Different Soil Covers and Management in the Cerrado–Amazon Ecotone, Brazil

open access: yesSoil Systems
Soil water infiltration is an important component of the hydrological cycle, and it is best evaluated when the raindrop impacts the ground surface. For this reason, it is affected by changes in land use and land cover and by the characteristics and ...
