Body
Sub-daily rainfall intensity has a significant impact on runoff and erosion rates in northern Australian rangelands. It is therefore important to accurately represent sub-daily rainfall intensity in rangeland systems models (e.g. GRASP), which are used to investigate management impacts on runoff and soil erosion processes. We describe a new equation to calculate daily maximum 15-minute rainfall intensities (I15) for any location in Australia, using readily available daily rainfall and climate data. ...
