According to the statistics, more than 70% of the geological calamities in China occur in rainy seasons. Many researchers are thus motivated to study extensively to determine their relationship in the prediction of geological calamltles . They either rely on single measurements of rainfall to seek basis for widespread occurrence of geological calamities or treat antecedent diurnal rainfall with equal importance, though with account of the accumulated effect of preceding rainfall. Furthermore, it is common for quite a number of models to use the rainfall recorded at hydrological or meteorological rain gauges as the one for the interested day, reducing the time validity of the prediction. In our analysis, it is found that the landslides and debris flows in Zhejiang province are related with the antecedent precipitation （but not by a simple accumulation）. Critical amounts of accumulated and effective rainfall are used in this work to tell whether there will be geological calamities. Moreover, MM5 is used to forecast rainfall, taking account in equations of the predictand for landslides and debris flows, in attempts to predict the appearance of meteorological condition for geological calamities and improve the rationality of forecasting procedures and time validity of forecasts.展开更多
