This work aims to evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of radar rainfall estimates for the identification of debris flow occurrence rainfall thresholds. Observations from a C-band weather radar and raingauge data are analyzed for seven convective rainfall events that triggered 117 debris flows in the Upper Adige river basin (Eastern Italian Alps). Four radar rainfall scenarios characterized...
Estimation of rainfall intensity–duration thresholds, used for the identification of debris flow/landslide triggering rainfall events, has been traditionally based on raingauge observations. The main drawback of using information from gauges is that the measurement stations are usually located far away from the debris flow initiation areas. In complex terrain where debris flows take place, the spatial...
