Zusammenfassung:The universal soil loss equation (USLE) and its modifications have been globally accepted as a model to estimate water erosion. A rainfall erosivity index is a key part of this equation. This article describes a web-accessible metliod for the automatic summarization of short duration rainfall intensity and the USLE rainfall erosivity index. We propose that these methodologies be used as a standard for automatically calculating daily rainfall intensity percentage and daily rainfall erosivity.
