- Abstract
The article reports on linking runoff response to burn severity after a wildfire. Runoff response is said to be measured as the runoff coefficient C which is equal to the peak discharge per unit drainage area divided by the average maximum 30 min rainfall intensity during each rain storm. It is said that the magnitude of the burn severity was expressed as the change in the normalized burn ratio. The runoff response and the burn severity are said to be measured in seven subwatersheds in the upper part of Rendija Canyon burned by the 2000 Cerro Grande Fire near Los Alamos, New Mexico, U.S.A.
