Data on rates of soil loss and redistribution collected during a series of large-scale rainfall simulator experiments were used as model input parameters and validation.
In order to evaluate the relationship between changes in soil temperature and soil water content, the soil temperature and volumetric water content in a slope on an embankment were measured during controlled rainfall experiments using a large-scale rainfall simulator at the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention in Japan.
Geologic structures have been reported as precursors and control of several medium to large-scale rainfall-induced landslides within the Benue Trough Nigeria (Fig. 1) and the Cameroon Line (Igwe 2015a,b; Igwe et al 2015; Igwe et al 2016).
Costs of climate adaptation are likely to have further positive impact as the spatial rainfall assessment confirms the presence of Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) as large scale signal causing the two rainfall seasonality of March, April, May (MAM) and October, November, December (OND).
The Genetic Programming approach is found to capture the complex relationship between the monthly Indian Summer Monsoon Rainfall and large scale atmospheric circulation pattern indices – ENSO and EQUINOO.
The statistical analysis suggest the potential of ANN over MR models for rainfall forecasting using large scale climate modes.
This paper presents a study on the large-scale spatial rainfall distribution in the Pearl River Basin of China using the information entropy theory and the fuzzy cluster analysis.
The juxtaposition between large scale climate variability, for example, the combined effect of rainfall and high tides can generate the classical phenomenon called "tidal flooding" (Pezzoli et al. 2013b).
In addition, environmental and climate variables (rainfall, altitude, and EVI) determined the large scale risk of podoconiosis across Ethiopia.
We know that large scale forest loss or die-back will generally reduce atmospheric moisture, rainfall and cloud cover, and increase the likelihood of drought and further loss or die-back.
