Numerical simulation of rainfall and runoff driven erosion at the hillslope scale: four rainfall events on the Pradel plot

This dataset correspond to rainfall and runoff measurement of a Mediterranean hillslope vineyard of 130 m² located in the region of Cevennes-Vivarais (south eastern France), which is part of the Mediterranean Hydrometeorological Observatory (OHMCV). The hillslope is 60 m long and 2.2 m wide. Its topography was measured at 15 cross sections and 6 points per cross section, with an uncertainty of 1 cm in the three dimensions. The average longitudinal slope is around 15%, and there is a rill that conveys all the surface runoff to the downstream outlet, with no runoff losses through the lateral sides. The soil is calcareous and covered by sparse vegetation, with an approximate composition of 34% clay, 41% silt and 25% sand. The soil erosion data monitored during the four storm events were used to calibrate and validate Iber+ models also provided in the dataset. These data sets and the DEM of the vineyard are described in detail and can be downloaded from Nord et al. (2017).
