Debris-Flow Prediction Source Code for Alpine Catchments

Source code implementing the method from Hirschberg et al. (2021) for computing rainfall thresholds for debris flows and landslides. The code is provided by ENVIDAT and was last updated in 2021. It includes an example that generates a data file and a figure matching the publication.

Use Cases

• Implement rainfall threshold calculations for debris-flow prediction based on the Hirschberg et al. (2021) method.
• Reproduce the analysis and figures from the referenced scientific publication.
• Benchmark or compare alternative debris-flow prediction methods using the provided code as a baseline.

Strengths

• Code is directly linked to a specific scientific publication (Hirschberg et al., 2021), providing a clear methodological basis.
• Includes a documented example run that produces a data file and a specific figure from the publication.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Last updated 2021-01-01 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
