Leading edge erosion (LEE) of wind turbine blades causes decreased aerodynamic
performance leading to lower power production and revenue and increased operations and …

Reducing uncertainty in quantifying basin‐scale water‐budget components is one of the
most vexing problems for water‐resource managers. Although a vast literature addresses …

Rainfall erosivity is a key factor that influences soil erosion by water. Rain-gauge
measurements are commonly used to estimate rainfall erosivity. However, long-term gauge …

Over many areas, light rainfalls, those delivering small daily amounts (typically,< 10 mm d−
1), and low-intensity rainfalls (typically,< 1 mm h− 1), contribute a large proportion of raining …

Wind turbine blade leading-edge erosion (LEE) is a cause of increased operation and
maintenance costs and decreased annual energy production. Thus, detailed, site-specific …

In situ measurements of precipitation are typically obtained by tipping bucket or weighing
rain gauges or by disdrometers using different measurement principles. One of the most …

Nowadays, laser disdrometers constitute a very appealing tool for measuring surface
precipitation properties, by virtue of their capability to estimate not only the rainfall amount …

This study presents two methods for evaluating the reflectivity calibration of W-band cloud
radars. Both methods use natural rain as a reference target. The first approach is based on a …

The characterization of a rainfall simulator provides an excellent opportunity to study the
potential of soil erosivity without waiting for natural rain. But, precise instrumentation is …

Rainfall drop arrival rate (DAR) quantifies the number of impacts at the ground of drops of
varying size per unit area and time. It can be calculated from the drop size distribution and …
