Radar–rain-gauge rainfall estimation for hydrological applications in small catchments
The accurate evaluation of the precipitation’s time–spatial structure is a critical step for rainfall–runoff modelling. Particularly for small catchments, the variability of rainfall can lead to mismatched results. Large errors in flow evaluation may occur during convective storms, responsible for most of the flash floods in small catchments in the Mediterranean area. During such events, we may...
متن کاملuse of high-resolution x-band weather radar for areal rainfall estimation in small catchments
abstract obtaining reliable precipitation observations is important for hydrological simulations and weather forecasting. radar data can provide insight in the spatial variation of precipitation and can also detect large areas of rain and estimate rainfall rates. weather radar systems nearly always operate in s-, c- or x-band. since x-band systems require smaller antennas than those at c- or s-...
متن کاملComparing rainfall interpolation techniques for small subtropical urban catchments
This study focuses on evaluating the suitability of three interpolation methods in terms of their accuracy, for small urban catchments. The Bridgewater Creek catchment in south Brisbane is the region of study. Thirteen storm events measured over 24-hours are interpolated using an inverse-distance weighted average method, thin plate smoothing spline, and an ordinary kriging technique. The delete...
متن کاملStochastic bias-correction of daily rainfall scenarios for hydrological applications
The accuracy of rainfall predictions provided by climate models is crucial for the assessment of climate change impacts on hydrological processes. In fact, the presence of bias in downscaled precipitation may produce large bias in the assessment of soil moisture dynamics, river flows and groundwater recharge. In this study, a comparison between statistical properties of rainfall observations an...
متن کاملHigh-resolution ensemble rainfall forecasts in urban hydrological applications
The use of Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPFs) enables to improve the real-time control of urban drainage systems by extending the time available to prevent critical situations such as flooding or sewer overflow [1-5]. Often, these are caused by rainfall events developing within a short period of time, and therefore, short term rainfall forecasts with lead time less than 3 hours are mos...
