15-min rainfall depth time series recorded at 51 rain gauges in two Austrian states (Lower and Upper Austria) situated in the northern and eastern part of the country have been used to calculate long-term rainfall erosivities, average erosivities of single storms, and number and average rainfall intensities of these storms. The length of the data series which covered the period from May to October ranged between nine and 53 years. Rain gauges were located in altitudes between 150 and 970 m asl and mean rainfall depths were 514 (169) mm and 652 (156) mm for Lower (LA) and Upper Austria (UA), respectively.
