Sentence examples for mean rainfall intensity from inspiring English sources

These authors use another rainfall factor: the mean rainfall intensity in the rainfall intensity duration model to predict the occurrence of shallow landslides.

Results showed that the meshes combined with nozzles increased the mean rainfall intensity on the 1 m2 control plot below the nozzle and altered the rain drops' properties, by increasing the mass-weighted mean drop diameter, for example.

We calculated the mean rainfall intensity (I, mm/h), rainfall duration (D, h), and peak rainfall intensity (mm/h) from the beginning of each rainfall event to the time of mass movement occurrence.

Mean rainfall intensity for all mass movements ranged from 8.9 to 64.8 mm/h with an average of 21.7 mm/h, and rainfall duration ranged between 2 and 71 h with an average of 33.2 h.

In addition, the relation between mean rainfall intensity and mean evaporation rate calculated using the original and revised Gash models was examined using combined data from the present study and previously published studies; a positive correlation was found between the two values especially in the areas where the rainfall intensity is high.

A t-test and resultant p-values indicate that mean rainfall intensity and antecedent rainfall are significantly different for landslides and debris flows (Table 1). Figure 4 also shows that the I D regression line for debris flows is higher than the I D regression line for landslides.

According to Table 2, G1 events are associated with relatively short-duration rainfall, with low peak and mean rainfall intensities, and low antecedent rainfall, meaning that mass movements occurred in spite of these conditions.

For short-duration rainfall events, higher mean rainfall intensities were required to trigger debris flows.

A combination of using both the median as well as the mean rainfall intensities is proposed for the same.

In contrast, for long-duration rainfall events, similar mean rainfall intensities triggered both landslides and debris flows.

Although G3 events are characterized by low peak and mean rainfall intensities, rainfall durations are relatively long, resulting in mass movements long after peak rainfall.
