Summary

On February 14th, 2019, a strong atmospheric river storm (AR4 on the Atmospheric River scale of Ralph et al., 2019) struck California. The heavy rainfall caused landslides in both northern and southern California (Hatchett et al., 2020). This data release includes two subsets of mapped shallow landslide source locations in the vicinity of western Riverside County, California, where sufficient post-event imagery was available within Google Earth (image date: August 15, 2019). The data release includes: 1) .csv files containing the point locations of shallow hillslope landslides, 2) .zip files containing shapfiles (.shp) of the mapped study areas. Ralph, F., Rutz, J. J., Cordeira, J. M., Dettinger, M., Anderson, M., Reynolds, D., [...]

Purpose

This data release includes landslide source locations found within the vicinity of western Riverside county, CA, USA, and supports the manuscript "Characterizing the scale of regional landslide triggering from storm hydrometeorology" by Perkins et al. This inventory is focused on the immediate area found within the study boundary polygons and does not represent a complete regional inventory for the February 14, 2019 storm.
