The existing precipitation forecast systems mostly focus on the analysis and forecast of large-scale areas but do not pro...
متن کاملFlash flood and sediment modeling with TREX
TREX is a physically-based, distributed model that simulates flash floods, sediment transport, and chemical transport and fate processes at the watershed scale. Basic processes in TREX include precipitation, interception, infiltration, surface runoff, and channel flow, erosion and deposition of upland soil and channel bed sediment, and chemical transport. TREX is readily coupled with standard G...

متن کاملA spatially distributed flash flood forecasting model
This paper presents a distributed model that is in operational use for forecasting flash floods in northern Austria. The main challenge in developing the model was parameter identification which was addressed by a modelling strategy that involved a model structure defined at the model element scale and multi-source model identification. The model represents runoff generation on a grid basis and...
