TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic threshold is proposed to integrate antecedent soil moisture conditions with rainfall thresholds, and the Bayesian analysis is applied to estimate the landslide occurrence probability given the various combinations of two factors.

TL;DR: An assessment has been carried out between the latest version of the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative soil moisture product and the landslide events in a northern Italian region in the 14-year period 2002–2015, finding a clear correlation with the satellite soil moisture.

TL;DR: The review has shown that the potential contribution of ABM to future flood risk management lays in its practical application to decision-making in adaptation policy and strategy planning, and the limitation of ad hoc implementations of decision- making and behaviour in the ABM models that could make the application less realistic in the field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed evaluation of five sources of soil moisture products (NLDAS-2 multi-model simulated soil moistures: Noah, VIC, Mosaic and SAC; and a ground observation) against a widely used hydrological model Xinanjiang (XAJ) as a benchmark at a U.S. basin was carried out.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology for the design of a raingauge network using remotely-sensed rainfall data set is proposed, which aims to explore how many gauges are essential and where they should be placed.
