Remotely Sensed Precipitation -> LandslidesRainfall threshold-based landslide prediction model
• Couples a static susceptibility map with precipitation real-time forcings from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)
• When both susceptibility and rainfall intensity-duration thresholds are exceeded, a forecast is issued indicating landslide potential
Test Case: Macon County, NC
Poor algorithm performance over this area for Hurricanes Frances and Ivan, September 2004,
suggest that the current rainfall thresholds do not accurately resolve landslide-triggering

Summary
Pg. 21
Remotely sensed soil moisture, snow and precipitation can be useful for hazard assessment
LPRM AMSR-E Soil moisture assimilation can improve soil moisture, streamflow and evapotranpiration -> Drought
Bias-corrected AMSR-E Snow depth assimilation improves snow depth and streamflow-> Floods
TRMM-based precipitation inputs can be useful for landslide detection, given calibrated thresholds ->Landslides
