The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss in western Oregon. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to assign...
When precipitation falls on frozen soil, serious soil loss can
occur. In order to assign realistic probabilities to the occurrence of
this condition for use in predicting erosion rates over long time
periods, a technique for combining characteristics of precipitation and
air temperature records is applied to hourly wet season...
The occurrence of frozen soil has a major effect on runoff and soil loss
in the Pacific Northwest. Hence, information regarding the probabilities of
occurrence of periods during which the soil may be frozen is necessary in order
to adequately forecast long-term erosion rates for this region. In order to...
Periods of precipitation with certain combinations of characteristics
(e.g., high intensity rainfall on saturated soil) can lead to appreciable
soil loss in the Pacific Northwest. In order to assign realistic probabilities
to the occurrence of these periods for use in predicting long-term
erosion rates, a soil erosion-specific definition of a...
