Sentence examples for hourly rainfall intensity from inspiring English sources

Runoff depth and coefficient at the hillslope was significantly correlated with rainfall depth, maximum hourly rainfall intensity and antecedent precipitation over 20 days (AP20).

Fig. 2 Aerial photograph of the Gessi-Mazzalasino landslide (photo by G. Bertolini) Fig. 3 Daily rainfall intensity from 13/03/2015 to 30/03/2015 Fig. 4 Hourly rainfall intensity on 25/03/2015.

They found that because the MAP is extremely high in the eastern part of the Kii Peninsula, Japan, it is not prone to landslides even with the high cumulative rainfall and maximum hourly rainfall intensity due to typhoon events.

During this period 94 mm of rainfall was recorded (1.3-year return period), half fell within a 2-hour period at an intensity of 25 mm/hour while the maximum hourly rainfall intensity reached 37 mm/hour (return period 1.8 years)t (from Table 1).

When compared to the control catchment, runoff depths in the SCM-Retrofit catchment were significantly less for events with low hourly rainfall intensities (<2.7 mm/h), but significantly greater for events with high intensities (>7.4 mm/h).

Caine (1980) suggested a general threshold for shallow landslide failure on undisturbed slopes in terms of rainfall intensity and duration and, in terms of hourly rainfall intensities, equates to 25 mm hr−1.

Hourly rainfall intensities at Whangapoua during the March 1995 storm exceeded this threshold with half (52 mm) of the total storm rainfall (96 mm) occurring within a 2-hour period (i.e. ~26 mm/hour), and the recording of a 1-hour maximum rainfall intensity of 37 mmt (Table 1).

Many data sets, however, do not record hourly rain intensities but qualitative intensities such as light, moderate, or heavy.

The HYPE model predicted the streamflow at daily intervals using the daily precipitation, limiting an accurate prediction of extreme events, which were usually generated by high rainfall intensity at shorter time intervals (hourly) [31].

Rising temperatures are increasing the chance of drought and heightening rainfall intensity during a shortened monsoon season.

To account for the effect of temporal rainfall intensity variations on mass movements, we calculated the time difference (T d) between mass movements and peak rainfall intensity (maximum hourly rainfall) as follows: {T}_d = mathrm{time} mathrm{of} mathrm{a} mathrm{mass} mathrm{movement} hbox mathrm{time} mathrm{of} mathrm{peak} mathrm{rainfall} mathrm{intensity}.
