How Is the Intensity of Rainfall Events Best Characterised? A Brief Critical Review and Proposed New Rainfall Intensity Index for Application in the Study of Landsurface Processes

In many studies of landsurface processes, the intensity of rainfall events is expressed with clock-period indexes such as I<sub>30</sub>, the wettest 30-minute interval within a rainfall event. Problematically, the value of I<sub>30</sub> cannot be estimated for rainfall even...
