Bayesian approach to Spatio-temporally Consistent Simulation of Daily Monsoon Rainfall over India
, 2017 Simulation of rainfall over a region for long time-sequences can be very useful for planning and policy-making, especially in India where the economy is heavily reliant on monsoon rainfall.

Slope Stability Assessment using Stochastic Rainfall Simulation
Procedia Computer Science, 2012 AbstractMany regions around the world are vulnerable to rainfall-induced landslides and debris flows. A variety of methods, from simple analytical approximations to sophisticated numerical methods, have been proposed over the years for capturing the relevant physics leading to landslide initiation. A key shortcoming of current hazard analysis techniques,

Atmospheric teleconnection mechanisms of extratropical North Atlantic SST influence on Sahel rainfall [PDF]
, 2014 Extratropical North Atlantic cooling has been tied to droughts over the Sahel in both paleoclimate observations and modeling studies. This study, which uses an atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) coupled to a slab ocean model that simulates this ...

Enrichment of organic carbon in sediment transport by interrill and rill erosion processes [PDF]
, 2008 Erosion and loss of organic carbon (OC) result in degradation of the soil surface. Rill and interrill erosion processes on a silt loam soil were examined in laboratory rainfall and flume experiments.

The Effect of Temporal Distribution Pattern of Rainfall Intensity on Runoff and Soil Loss in a Hillslope in a Semi-Arid Region [PDF]
علوم آب و خاکThe temporal distribution pattern of rainfall can play a role in the production of runoff and soil loss during rainfall. This study investigated four rainfall patterns: uniform, advanced, intermediate, and delayed rainfall under field conditions.

The effects of urbanization on floods in the Austin metropolitan area, Texas [PDF]
, 1986 This report looks at compiled data from 1956-1980 to "provide a technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges at ungaged sites and to estimate the effects of changes in urbanization on flood peaks."The effects of ...

Design of a programmable rainfall simulator [PDF]
1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory, 2002 A programmable controller (PIC) was designed to provide a greater flexibility in rainfall simulator research. The PIC controlled the rainfall simulator using a process control board employing a microprocessor. This control board provided programmable capability previously unavailable in field research. Software to control the system was developed using

Dynamics of a salinity-prone agricultural catchment driven by markets, farmers' attitude and climate change [PDF]
, 2007 An agent-based simulation model has been developed with CORMAS combining simplified bio-physical processes of land cover, dry-land salinity changes, rainfall, farm profitability and farmer decisions on land uses in a dry-land agricultural catchment (no ...

Evaluation of greenwaste mulch to control runoff quality from landfill sites during frequent storms [PDF]
, 2009 This paper describes a preliminary evaluation of two types of greenwaste (fresh and aged) used as a mulch layer to control runoff from disturbed landfill areas. Fresh greenwaste refers to woody and herbaceous garden waste that has been recently collected,
