afs-72650	Posch, Maximilian; Rekolainen, Seppo	Erosivity factor in the Universal Soil Loss Equation estimated from Finnish rainfall data	1993	9	.pdf	application/pdf	4093	260	70	Since breakpoint rainfall data is not always avail- able, Lombardi (1979) (see also Richardson et al. 1983) presented a simple power-law linking daily precipitation amount z and rainfall erosivity El: (5) EI =azb In the USLE El has to be in units of (100 ft- tonsf/acre)(in/h), and values of a=B.o and b= 1.51 were derived by regression analysis from 2700 data points from the United States, and these values are also coded in the CREAMS model. Continuous rainfall data recorded for many years at 8 stations in Finland were used to estimate rainfall erosivity, a quantity needed for soil loss predictions with the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE).	cache/afs-72650.pdf	txt/afs-72650.txt
