A staggered approach to flash flood forecasting a case study in the Cevennes region [PDF]
, 2011 A staggered approach to flash flood forecasting is developed within the IMPRINTS project (FP7-ENV-2008-1-226555). Instead of a single solution system, a chain of different models and input data is being proposed that act in sequence and provide decision ...
