Introduction The boundaries between children’s literature and literature for adults are difficult to determine.

CC BY 4.0 License. Rain erosivity map for Germany derived from contiguous radar rain data Franziska K. Fischer1,2,3, Tanja Winterrath4, Karl Auerswald1 1Lehrstuhl für Grünlandlehre, Technische Universität München, Freising, 85354, Germany 5 2Bayerische Landesanstalt für Landwirtschaft, Freising, 85354, Germany 3Außenstelle Weihenstephan, Deutscher Wetterdienst, Freising, 85354, Germany 4Deutscher Wetterdienst, Department of Hydrometeorology, Offenbach/ Main, 63067, Germany 10 Correspondence to: Karl Auerswald ([email protected]) Abstract. Erosive rainfall varies pronouncedly in time and space. Severe events are often restricted to a few square kilometers. Rain radar data with high spatio-temporal resolution enable this pattern of erosivity to be portrayed for the first time. We used radar data collected with a spatial resolution of 1 km² for 452 503 km² to derive a new erosivity map for Germany and to analyze the seasonal distribution of erosivity. Extraordinarily large filtering was necessary to extract the 15 expected long-term regional pattern from the scattered pattern of events. Filtering included averaging 2001 to 2017 and smoothing in time and space. The pattern of the resulting map generally agreed well with the previous map based on regressions of rain gauge data (mainly from the 1960s to 1980s). The pattern was predominantly shaped by orography. However, the new map has more detail; it deviates in some regions where the regressions previously used were weak; most importantly, it shows that erosivity is about 66% higher than in the map previously used.

    El llegat dels germans Grimm en el segle xxi: del paper a la pantalla Emili Samper Prunera Universitat Rovira i Virgili [email protected] Resum Les rondalles que els germans Grimm van recollir als Kinder- und Hausmärchen han traspassat la frontera del paper amb nombroses adaptacions literàries, cinema- togràfiques o televisives. La pel·lícula The brothers Grimm (2005), de Terry Gilli- am, i la primera temporada de la sèrie Grimm (2011-2012), de la cadena NBC, són dos mostres recents d’obres audiovisuals que han agafat les rondalles dels Grimm com a base per elaborar la seva ficció. En aquest article s’analitza el tractament de les rondalles que apareixen en totes dues obres (tenint en compte un precedent de 1962, The wonderful world of the Brothers Grimm), així com el rol que adopten els mateixos germans Grimm, que passen de creadors a convertir-se ells mateixos en personatges de ficció. Es recorre, d’aquesta manera, el camí invers al que han realitzat els responsables d’aquestes adaptacions: de la pantalla (gran o petita) es torna al paper, mostrant quines són les rondalles dels Grimm que s’han adaptat i de quina manera s’ha dut a terme aquesta adaptació. Paraules clau Grimm, Kinder- und Hausmärchen, The brothers Grimm, Terry Gilliam, rondalla Summary The tales that the Grimm brothers collected in their Kinder- und Hausmärchen have gone beyond the confines of paper with numerous literary, cinematographic and TV adaptations. The film The Brothers Grimm (2005), by Terry Gilliam, and the first season of the series Grimm (2011–2012), produced by the NBC network, are two recent examples of audiovisual productions that have taken the Grimm brothers’ tales as a base on which to create their fiction.
