Flash flood forecasting for ungauged locations with NEXRAD precipitation data, threshold frequencies, and a distributed hydrologic model
A flash flood forecasting system has been developed which combines distributed modeling and statistical analyses to produce gridded forecasts of return periods. A distributed hydrologic model (DHM) coupled to a threshold frequency (TF) post-processor, DHM-TF, is currently being tested over a Maryland-centered domain, and has verified well against National Weather Service (NWS) flash flood warni...
متن کاملIntercomparison of Rain Gauge, Radar, and Satellite-Based Precipitation Estimates with Emphasis on Hydrologic Forecasting
This study compares mean areal precipitation (MAP) estimates derived from three sources: an operational rain gauge network (MAPG), a radar/gauge multisensor product (MAPX), and the Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks (PERSIANN) satellitebased system (MAPS) for the time period from March 2000 to November 2003. The study area includes seven o...
متن کاملCopula-based uncertainty modelling: application to multisensor precipitation estimates
The multisensor precipitation estimates (MPE) data, available in hourly temporal and 4 km ð 4 km spatial resolution, are produced by the National Weather Service and mosaicked as a national product known as Stage IV. The MPE products have a significant advantage over rain gauge measurements due to their ability to capture spatial variability of rainfall. However, the advantages are limited by c...
متن کاملA methodology for merging multisensor precipitation estimates based on expectation-maximization and scale recursive estimation
Scale recursive estimation (SRE) is a Kalman filter-based methodology, which can be used to produce optimal (in terms of bias and minimum variance) estimates of a field at any desired scale given uncertain and sparse observations at different scales. SRE requires the specification of the state equation, which describes the variability of the precipitation process across scales, and the observat...
متن کاملRecalibration of Hydrologic Models for Use with Wsr-88d Precipitation Estimates
With the deployment of the WSR-88D weather radar, the National Weather Service will provide improved estimates of hourly precipitation accumulations for most of the United States on roughly a 4 by 4 km grid. This information will be used as input to operational hydrologic models to improve streamflow prediction for flood forecasting and water resources management. A critical issue that hydrolog...
