Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Duration of the Rainfall = (Interception Loss-Interception Storage)/(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate)
t = (I_i-S_i)/(K_i*E_r)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Duration of the Rainfall - (Measured in Hour) - Duration of the Rainfall corresponding to rainfall depth is the total time during which the precipitation occurs.
Interception Loss - (Measured in Millimeter) - Interception Loss is the portion of the precipitation that is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation from plant surfaces or is absorbed by the plant.
Interception Storage - (Measured in Millimeter) - Interception Storage is the ability of vegetation surfaces to collect and retain precipitation.
Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area - Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area is the factor contributing to rainfall and levels off to a constant value for specified storms.
Evaporation Rate - (Measured in Millimeter per Hour) - Evaporation Rate is the rate at which a material vaporizes (or evaporates) from its liquid state to a vapor state.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Interception Loss: 8.7 Millimeter --> 8.7 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Interception Storage: 1.2 Millimeter --> 1.2 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Evaporation Rate: 2.5 Millimeter per Hour --> 2.5 Millimeter per Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (I_i-S_i)/(K_i*E_r) --> (8.7-1.2)/(2*2.5)

Evaluating ... ...

t = 1.5

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

5400 Second -->1.5 Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.5 Hour <-- Duration of the Rainfall

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss Formula

Duration of the Rainfall = (Interception Loss-Interception Storage)/(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate)
t = (I_i-S_i)/(K_i*E_r)

What is Interception Loss?

Interception loss is the portion of the precipitation that is returned to the atmosphere through evaporation from plant surfaces or is absorbed by the plant. It is the difference between the precipitation occurring over an area and the part that reaches the soil.

What is Interception Storage?

Interception Storage is the water above the ground surface, mostly in vegetation, where vegetation is present, precipitation consists of gross rainfall measured above the canopy or in openings in a forest.

How to Calculate Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss?

Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss calculator uses Duration of the Rainfall = (Interception Loss-Interception Storage)/(Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area*Evaporation Rate) to calculate the Duration of the Rainfall, The Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss formula is defined as an important parameter that defines the rainfall depth or intensity for a given frequency and therefore affects the resulting runoff peak and volume. Duration of the Rainfall is denoted by t symbol.

How to calculate Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Duration of Rainfall given Interception Loss, enter Interception Loss (I_i), Interception Storage (S_i), Ratio of Vegetal Surface Area to Projected Area (K_i) & Evaporation Rate (E_r) and hit the calculate button.
