These referred to the recurrence intervals of rainfall corresponding to the hazard class in the KEC-based debris-flow assessment (Choi et al. 2015).
This suggests that the greater percentage of windthrown deaths in the Namibian SRZ is attributable, at least in part, to a more intense period of summer rainfall, with a likely associated higher frequency and lower return interval of high rainfall events.
Lacking a sufficient interval of normal rainfall to replenish its waters, Lake Poopó became desiccated despite conservation efforts funded by a grant from the European Union of some $15 million.
Soil water suctions at various stages of legume growth were measured at daily or weekly intervals (depending on the frequency of rainfall events) using tensiometers installed at 0 15 and 15 30 cm soil depths.
The District 20 rainfall in January 1993 20.511 cm) was higher than the 75th percentile of January rainfall (20.3 cm) and was greater than the upper 95% confidence interval of the mean of January rainfall from 1991 to 2011 (mean 17.00, 95% confidence intervals (13.80, 20.18), range 5.30 – 29.61).
The sampling interval was designed to detect the effect of rainfall (1315 mm for the 3 years with 72 mm/h peak intensity) on the spatial soil changes as consequence of processes such as: leaching, soil erosion, etc.
The present study proposes a method for estimating the distribution of sub-hourly extreme rainfalls at sites where data for time interval of interest do not exist, but rainfall data for longer duration are available.
