Researchers usually refer
to one of the four kinds of rainfall as factors of landslide
initiation: (1) total rainfall, (2) short-term intensity, (3)
antecedent storm precipitation, or (4) storm duration.
However, it may depend on the region and on
specificities what type of rainfall attributes may have
the highest correlation with landslide occurrence. Some
studies conclude that short-term rainfall intensity is
the most important determinant
