Abstract Numerical studies by the authors and others of the 1994 Piedmont flood show that the orographically modified flow was a critical element for the production of extraordinary rainfall. To uncover the precise mechanism of orographic rainfall occurring in full-physics MM5 simulations of the 1994...

For rainfall-induced landslides, there is a difference between shallow landslides, which are generally triggered by short duration and intense rainfall, and deep-seated (and often also large scale) landslides, mainly triggered during or after prolonged rainfall. This was confirmed by a study of rain...
Since precipitation variability increases as climate warms, the fluctuation in grassland C cycles may become more intense, leading to greater interannual variability of terrestrial C sinks. 2.2. The soil dominates grassland organic carbon storage Globally, grasslands store 525 to 634 Pg C. Unlike ...

During the first HyMeX Special Observation Period (SOP1) field campaign, the target site of north-eastern Italy (NEI) experienced a large amount of precipitation, locally exceeding the climatological values and distributed among several heavy-rainfall episodes. In particular, two events that occurred...
several key factors [4]. The region’s temperate climate, characterized by moderate rainfall and temperatures, proved ideal for year-round grass maintenance. The invention of the lawnmower by Edwin Budding in 1830 revolutionized ground maintenance, enabling efficient management of large grass surfaces....
The basin’s average annual precipitation is approximately 1000 mm, with a notably uneven seasonal distribution where summer rainfall accounts for over 60% of the annual total. Spatially, precipitation exhibits a distinct geographical gradient, decreasing from approximately 2400 mm in the eastern ...
urbanization; steep topography was identified to be the dominant factor for Cluster 3; extreme rainfall was determined as the main triggering factor for Cluster 4; saturated soil conditions were found to be the dominant factor for Cluster 5; and orographic effects of mountain ranges characterized ...
