Data details

Name Rainfall Erosivity in the EU and Switzerland (R-factor)
Note This map provides a complete rainfall erosivity dataset for European Union (28 member States) and Switzerland based on 1541 precipitation stations and 26,394 years of measurements. Gaussian Process Regression(GPR) model was used to interpolate the rainfall erosivity values of single stations and to generate the R-factor map. GSD 500 m Web site --> http://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/rainfall-erosivity-european-union-and-switzerland#tabs-0-description=0 The public user can download Datasets a) Rainfall erosivity in Europe (R-factor); b) Erosivity Density; c) The standard error of the estimates; d) Monthly rainfall erosivity in Europe; e) Seasonal erosivity in Europe; f) Indicators of rainfall erosivity; g) Monthly R-factor maps of Greece and seasonal Erosivity Density; h) The R-factor in Switzerland (as calculated in 2012) and the code for calculating R-factor.
