Identification of tropical cyclone–related flash floods from hazard narratives using a large language model–based approach

open access: yesnpj Natural Hazards
This study employs a Large Language Model (LLM)–based approach to identify tropical cyclones (TCs)-related flash floods and understand their interrelationships using hazard narratives from the National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events ...

ENSO or the Atlantic: Which Actually Governs the Hydrological Vulnerability of the Caatinga?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study challenges the traditional ENSO‐centric paradigm of rainfall variability in the Caatinga by demonstrating that the Tropical Atlantic exerts a statistically dominant influence on regional hydrological vulnerability. Using a seasonal ARX/HAC model and CHIRPS data, we establish a new hierarchy of climatic drivers across six rainfall districts ...

Atmospheric Rivers, Floods, and Flash Floods in California [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are long (\u3e2000 km), narrow (\u3c 1000 km) corridors of enhanced vertically integrated water vapor (IWV) and enhanced IWV transport (IVT). The landfall of ARs along the U.S. West Coast have been linked to extreme precipitation

On the Uncertainties of Flash Flood Guidance: Toward Probabilistic Forecasting of Flash Floods

open access: yesJournal of Hydrometeorology, 2006
Abstract Quantifying uncertainty associated with flash flood warning or forecast systems is required to enable informed decision making by those responsible for operation and management of natural hazard protection systems. The current system used by the U.S.

A framework for the analysis of the influence of rainfall spatial organization and basin morphology on flood response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This work describes the derivation of a set of statistics, termed spatial moments of catchment rainfall, that quantify the dependence between rainfall spatial organization, basin morphology and runoff response.

Assessment of the Exposure of Australia to Tropical Cyclones Through a Climatological Model for Cyclone Weather Extent

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Australia has different levels of exposure to tropical cyclones. Using historical records, this study investigates the spatial variability of tropical cyclone formation across the Southeast Indian–South Pacific basin, quantifies the exposure of different parts of Australia to tropical cyclone weather events, and examines decadal variability in cyclone ...

Assessment of flash floods taking into account climate change scenarios in the Llobregat River basin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Global change may imply important changes in the future occurrence and intensity of extreme events. Climate scenarios characterizing these plausible changes were previously obtained for the Llobregat River basin (NE Spain).

Identification of flash flood hazard zones in mountainous small watershed of Aceh Besar Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2016
Flash-floods develop at space and time scales that conventional observation systems were not able to monitor for rainfall, stream flow and sediment discharge. This condition resulted in greater casualties and tremendous economic losses.

Flash floods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The thesis presents flash floods phenomenon and the differences between flash floods and\ud other types of floods. Flooding is usually caused by intense or long-lasting rainfall event.\ud These kinds of events are more often in the last years and climate

Shifting Patterns of Precipitation Extremes in the Southeast Atlantic Basin—Brazil: From Observed Trends to Future Projections

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Observed trends and EC‐Earth3 climate model projections demonstrate expressive changes in the Southeast Atlantic Hydrographic Basin, Brazil. Significant increases in rainfall intensity and dry spell duration in the present climate are followed by projected amplification of extreme precipitation under future warming, particularly under the SSP5‐8.5 ...
