The Floodrelief Internet-based Flood Forecasting Decision Support System
For operational flood forecasting and operational decision-makers, ready access to current and forecasted meteorological conditions is essential for initiating flood response measures and issuing flood warnings. Effective flood forecasting systems must provide reliable, accurate and timely forecasts for a range of catchments; from small rapidly responding urban areas, to large, more slowly resp...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Development of Flood Forecasting and Warning Services in Australia
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is the lead national agency for flood forecasting and warning services in Australia, working in partnership with agencies at the State and Local Government levels. These services cover river basins with response times ranging from 6-12 hours through to very large basins with flood travel times of the order of weeks. Flash flood warning services are also prov...
متن کاملCombination of different types of ensembles for the adaptive simulation of probabilistic flood forecasts: hindcasts for the Mulde 2002 extreme event
Flood forecasts are essential to issue reliable flood warnings and to initiate flood control measures on time. The accuracy and the lead time of the predictions for head waters primarily depend on the meteorological forecasts. Ensemble forecasts are a means of framing the uncertainty of the potential future development of the hydro-meteorological situation. This contribution presents a flood ma...
متن کاملFlash 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 کاملUncertainty assessment via Bayesian revision of ensemble streamflow predictions in the operational river Rhine forecasting system
[1] Ensemble streamflow forecasts obtained by using hydrological models with ensemble weather products are becoming more frequent in operational flow forecasting. The uncertainty of the ensemble forecast needs to be assessed for these products to become useful in forecasting operations. A comprehensive framework for Bayesian revision has been recently developed and applied to operational flood ...
