A Variational Approach to Retrieve Rain Rate by Combining Information from Rain Gauges, Radars, and Microwave Links

Accurate and reliable rain rate estimates are important for various hydrometeorological applications. Consequently, rain sensors of different types have been deployed in many regions. In this work, measurements from different instruments, namely, rain gaug ...

Improved rain rate estimation by combining radars, rain gauges and microwave links

Blandine Bianchi

The measurement of rainfall and its prediction at short lead times (often referred to as nowcasting) have important implications in hydrometeorology, and improving their accuracy may have an impact on various human activities. Indeed, the importance of now ...

Assessing the potential of using telecommunication microwave links in urban drainage modelling

Marc Schleiss

The ability to predict the runoff response of an urban catchment to rainfall is crucial for managing drainage systems effectively and controlling discharges from urban areas. In this paper we assess the potential of commercial microwave links (MWL) to capt ...

Hydrology of the Sudanian Savannah in West Africa, Burkina Faso

Theophile Mande

As in all semi-arid regions, Tambarga, a small village surrounded by national parks in the landlocked country of Burkina Faso, is affected by the seasonality of the local hydrology. Seasonal and spatial variability of rainfall shapes the livelihoods of rur ...

Can satellite based pattern-oriented memory improve the interpolation of sparse historical rainfall records?

Anton Schleiss, Théodora Cohen Liechti

Ther is a standing challeng in obtaining long localized records of rainfall data in many large river basins of the developing world. Recent spaceborne instrumentation offers a constente source of rainfall information, but this information covers only a rel ...

Depletion of Stem Water of Sclerocarya birrea Agroforestry Tree Precedes Start of Rainy Season in West African Sudanian Zone

Marc Parlange, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Theophile Mande

Understanding water use by agroforestry trees in dry-land ecosystems is essential for improving water management. Agroforestry trees are valued and promoted for many of their ecologic and economic beneﬁts but are often criticized as competing for valuable ...

Development of a low-cost wireless controller for flexible sampling strategies based on real-time flow monitoring

Andrea Rinaldo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz, Jonathan Besuchet

Even if models are able to predict more and more accurately pollutant discharge in streams, surface water sampling remains a very common practice to monitor substance concentrations and loads in streams and to calibrate models. However, as this method is t ...

Analytic probability distributions for snow-dominated streamflow

Andrea Rinaldo, Bettina Schaefli, Gianluca Botter

We propose a novel analytical description of the streamflow probability distribution functions (pdfs) in Alpine catchments characterized by pronounced, snow-dominated winter low flows. Knowledge about such hydrological regimes is crucial for water resource ...

Estimation of rainfall-driven soil erosion from different rainfall intensities, exposed areas and initial soil conditions

David Andrew Barry, Seifeddine Jomaa

The factors influencing the rain-splash soil erosion include rainfall characteristics, area exposed to raindrops and soil properties. Understanding of these factors and of their interactions is crucial for better predictions of soil erosion yields. To this ...

Improving stream flow discharge modelling during snow melt

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever, Charles Fierz

The importance of the snow cover for the hydrological cycle is well known but the understanding is still limited. For example, the effect of rain-on-snow on melt water runoff and the coupling between spring snow melt and stream flow discharge are difficult ...
