Mapping Statewide Flash Flood Potential Index (FFPI) in Indiana [PDF]
, 2011 National Weather Service (NWS) employees must make forecasting decisions on a daily basis. These forecasts are important to save people’s lives and property. One area where the NWS has very little guidance is flash flood prediction.

Flood Forecasting Using Artificial Neural Networks: an Application of Multi-Model Data Fusion technique [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Structures, 2016 Floods are among the natural disasters that cause human hardship and economic loss. Establishing a viable flood forecasting and warning system for communities at risk can mitigate these adverse effects. However, establishing an accurate flood forecasting

Early Flash Flood Warning: A Feasibility Study with a Distributed Hydrological Model and Threshold Exceedance [PDF]
, 2008 In Mediterranean Europe, flash flooding is one of the most devastating hazards in terms of loss of human life and infrastructures. Over the last two decades, flash floods have caused damage costing a billion Euros in France alone.

The Study of Flood Forecast Based on Precipitation Ensemble Forecast
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Ensemble forecast which makes up for the lack of the single forecast, is a shift from deterministic forecast to probabilistic forecast. Based on the above ideas, this paper takes the Jianghua as study basin,and uses the ECWMF ensemble forecast ...

Benefits and limitations of data assimilation for discharge forecasting using an event-based rainfall–runoff model [PDF]
, 2013 Mediterranean catchments in southern France are threatened by potentially devastating fast floods which are difficult to anticipate. In order to improve the skill of rainfall-runoff models in predicting such flash floods, hydrologists use data ...

Merging multiple precipitation sources for flash flood forecasting [PDF]
, 2007 We investigated the effectiveness of combining gauge observations and satellite-derived precipitation on flood forecasting. Two data merging processes were proposed: the first one assumes that the individual precipitation measurement is non-bias, while ...

Flash flood modeling with the MARINE hydrological distributed model
, 2006 International audienceFlash floods are characterized by their violence and the rapidity of their occurrence. Because these events are rare and unpredictable, but also fast and intense, their anticipation with sufficient lead time for warning and ...

Sub-daily simulation of mountain flood processes based on the modified soil water assessment tool (SWAT) model [PDF]
, 2019 Floods not only provide a large amount of water resources, but they also cause serious disasters. Although there have been numerous hydrological studies on flood processes, most of these investigations were based on rainfall-type floods in plain areas ...
