Comment on ‘The influence of geological–morphological and land-use settings on shallow landslides in the Pogliaschina T. basin (northern Apennines, Italy)’ by Bartelletti et al. (2017)

Figures & data

Figure 1. (A) Map of cumulative rainfall for the rainstorm of 25 October 2011 in the Magra River basin, modified from Rinaldi et al. (2016). (B) Zoom on the Pogliaschina basin; the numbers (1–6) indicate the outlet of six sub-basins where peak discharge has been estimated.

Table 1. Cumulative event rainfall and peak discharge for six sub-basins in the Pogliaschina basin.

Sub-basin number (Figure 1(B))	Sub-basin area (km^2)	Event cumulative rainfall (mm)	Observed unit peak discharge (m^3s^−1km^−2)	Observed unit peak discharge – uncertainty range (m^3s^−1km^−2)	Simulated unit peak discharge (m^3s^−1km^−2)
1	3.4	253	8.8	6.8–10.9	12.6
2	3.8	305	17.1	13.2–21.1	17.1
3	5.7	407	28.1	21.6–34.6	26.0
4	7.3	413	27.4	17.3–37.5	25.8
5	1.7	445	21.8	16.5–27.1	32.9
6	0.5	429	22.0	20.0–26.0	22.0

Note: Values in bold (last column) indicate model-simulated peak discharge within the uncertainty range of observed discharge.
