Summary
A European dataset with erosivity values (rainfall intensity) for 1675 stations in Europe. In addition, maps of Rainfall erosivity (Annual, Monthly, seasonal, plus various indicators) are provided.
Description of Dataset
REDES is provided as a point database including R-factor for each of the 1,675 stations. Based on the point data, we have interpolated the dataset and we provide the R-factor map in Europe (Resolution: 500m). The REDES includes also Monthly erosivity maps, seasonal datasets and indicators of rainfall erosivity. REDES stands for Rainfall Erosivity at European Scale.
