Particularly in mountain environments, rainfall can be extremely variable in space and time. For many hydrological applications such as modelling, extrapolation of point rainfall measurements is necessary. Decisions about ...

The rain precipitation is one of the climate elements with wider impact on the geographical space, because it is related with several sectors of the society. Therefore, the general purpose of this work is to analyse the ...

Rainfall has increased in many regions during recent decades, but most information is from dryland ecosystems, which precludes generalizations about its ecological consequences. We explored the effects of increased flooding ...

Transition zones between dry and humid climates are highly sensitive areas where small changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall may have vast consequences on vegetation development. Rainfall regimes are ...

In the Central Andes of Peru, convective and stratiform rainfall occurs, frequently associated with convective storms. The raindrop size distributions (RSD), measured by a Parsivel-2 optical disdrometer, were characterized ...

In coastal wetlands, the interaction between groundwater, surface water and marine or estuarine water determines the water chemistry; variations in the water balance may be of influence as well. The objective of this work ...
