Rainfall Erosivity Factor definition

Rainfall Erosivity Factor or “R Factor” means a measure of the erosive force and intensity of rain in a normal year. Two components of the factor are total energy and the maximum 30-min intensity of storms. The R-Factor is the sum of the product of these two components for all major storms in the area during an average year. (USDA Handbook 703)
