For over a century there have been many studies that describe the use of rain drop
measurement techniques. Initial manual measurement methods evolved due to improved …

The knowledge of the rainfall drop size distribution (DSD) at the land surface is essential for
understanding precipitation mechanisms affecting soil erosion processes. Rainfall erosivity …

The present paper describes the design of a comprehensive rainfall simulator which is
particularly meant for the assessment of soil erosion at plot scale by considering various soil …

One of the significant hydrological processes affecting the sustainability of river engineering
is sedimentation. Sedimentation has a major impact on reservoir and dam operations. This …

The characteristics of raindrops are among the major factors influencing rainfall erosivity.
However, the effect of wind blowing on the determining factors of raindrops was not …

The size of the drops determines soil erosion and runoff rates, and then the fate of
ecosystems. Various raindrop measurement techniques and tools have been developed to …

The drastic growth of population in highly industrialized urban areas, as well as fossil fuel
use, is increasing levels of airborne pollutants and enhancing acid rain. In rapidly …

Land degradation caused by erosion processes is a widespread global problem. Rain
simulators are one of the tools often used to determine the resistance of soils to erosion …

Abstract The Differential Emissivity Imaging Disdrometer (DEID) is a new evaporation-based
optical and thermal instrument designed to measure the mass, size, density and type of …

ABSTRACT The Simulator of Artificial RaInfall (SARI) rainfall simulator (RS) is a newly
designed, constructed and calibrated, portable, two-nozzle RS with low water consumption …
