After affecting Japan, the typhoon dropped the equivalent of the monthly precipitation in the Kuril Islands of Russia, causing road damage there.
Seasonal assessments are possible, however; numbers of commercial crops can take up and transpire the equivalent of 38 centimetres of precipitation during the growing season.
In this study, detention of the first flush equivalent to 5 mm of precipitation could reduce CSO-induced diffuse pollution loading to a receiving water body by up to 80% of the total suspended solid loading.
Generally only 50% or less of the mineral N added was leached (Table 4) despite the very high irrigation rate equivalent to 500 mm of precipitation during 7 days.
In another set, the researchers added a volume of water equivalent to 350 millimeters of precipitation falling on each square kilometer of the valley's fields between May and October, the time of year when soil moisture typically takes a dive if irrigation isn't provided.
Like many residents interviewed, she said she suspected that the raging flow was a result of an official decision to release some water from a swollen reservoir in the hills above the city — a theory rebutted by scientists from Russia's environmental monitoring service, who said Friday's rains swelled nearby rivers with the equivalent of six months' average precipitation.
from southern Utah was activated at a precipitation equivalent of about 0.1 mm and had a strong depression in CO2 uptake at values above 1.5 mm with a maximum NP peak at 1.00 mm (Lange et al. 1998).
While passing northwest of Mauritius, the outer fringes of Connie brought heavy rains peaking at 647 mm over the span of six days, or equivalent to a month's worth of precipitation.
The cement microstructure of Alpha-BSM®, which results from a reaction of precipitation, is not equivalent to the crystalline structure of human bone[ 18, 57, 58].
Another type of gauge used to measure the liquid equivalent of snowfall is the weighing precipitation gauge.
