Rainfall estimation errors related to the sparse nature of raingauge data are enhanced in case of convective rainfall events characterized by limited spatial extent.
The examples of water-squares in Rotterdam (Urbanisten 2013) and Copenhagen (Perry 2016) illustrate this increase in agility, as these squares change from a playground into a leisure pond or water basin in case of heavy rainfall.
The maximum S-value may be larger than 1.07 in case of larger rainfall amounts and soil material more prone to shallow landsliding than the soils in this study.
On the other hand, rain water will take relatively more time to enter into the stream, and hence only in case of higher rainfall there would be significant volume of surface run off to stream discharge in Pulambadi, Valaiyur, Silaiyur and Maruvattur watersheds where the length of overland flow is longer.
Kistemann et al. (2002) observed that in the case of rainfall, the microbial loads of running water may suddenly increase and reach reservoir bodies very quickly.
We explain these outcomes with the characteristics of the model at the core of the SIGMA warning system: the decisional algorithm is based on the concept that landslides occur in the case of rainfall events that can be considered exceptional either for the rainfall amount or for the duration (Figure 3).
These sources of uncertainty may be significant when, as in the case of rainfall, the climate variables are particularly important determinants of plant distributions [59].
After the summer (Kiremt ) season ends, the remaining rainfall usually have occurred during the winter season (Bega), and in spring (Belg) season, while in case of the LSB, the rainfall during the Bega and Belg season were very little (Fig. 5).
A new method was implemented to map regional soil texture (in terms of sand, silt and clay contents) by hypothesizing that the change in the land surface diurnal temperature difference (DTD) is related to soil texture in case of a relatively homogeneous rainfall input.
The PIII probability function is found to be the best-fit distribution in case of 1-day maximum rainfall, since it has a minimum Chi-square value for maximum number of return periods.
