Precipitation: Earth Surface Responses and Processes provides
readers with a general and indispensable overview of processing
rainfall processes through radar techniques, numerical models,
geostatistical tools, photogrammetric methods, plots, indexes of
connectivity or rainfall simulations. The handbook follows a clear
and consistent format, and is structured as follows: Introduction
(State-of-the-Art); Part 1. Rainfall and climate/atmosphere; Part
2. Models and applications; Part 3. Rainfall as a key actor playing
the main role affecting different ecosystems. Part 3: Rainfall
affecting the earth surface from different scales and landforms;
Part 4: Rainfall and stormwater quality management in urban and
rural areas. Precipitation is a key factor needed for understanding
landscape evolution and ecosystem services. Knowing the main
precipitation composition, mechanisms and processes allows for
efficient land management plans and ecosystem restoration
activities. However, precipitation shows different responses under
specific environments depending on the climate (from the arid to
the polar areas), parent material, scale (from the raindrops to
catchment scale), intensity, landscape morphologies (soil sealing,
rills, gullies or rivers) or human activities (agriculture or urban
areas). Precipitation: Earth Surface Responses and Processes bring
this information together and provides indispensable material in a
holistic manner for students, scientists and lecturers from
different environmental disciplines such as climatology,
meteorology, geomorphology, hydrology, soil science, geography,
engineering, or ecology.
