The results showed that the 1-day critical areal rainfall amounts were 31 mm, 63 mm, 92 mm and 160 mm for early flood warning levels 4, 3, 2 and 1, respectively, when the 1-day antecedent areal rainfall was ≤10 mm. The critical areal rainfall amounts were 20 mm...
The Areal Mean Basin Estimated Rainfall (AMBER) program is a tool developed at the Pittsburgh National Weather Service Forecast Office (NWSFO) to assist in flash flood warning decisions. The AMBER program computes basin average rainfall rates and accumulations from radar precipitation estimates to ...
A systematical analysis is made on the distribution characteristics of resultant precipitation in Nanning caused by the 17 floods on Yujiang river, whose purpose is to find out the main synoptic systems inducing flood and their collocation, drainage value of resultant precipitation, and the resultant ...
Volkert, 2000: Heavy precipitation in the alpine region (HERA): areal rainfall determination for flood warnings through in-site measurements, remote sensing and atmospheric modelling. Meteorol. Atmos. Phys., 72, 73-85.VOLKERT H., 2000 : Heavy precipitation in the Alpine region (HERA): area ...
The proposed storm-centered methodology can find important applications in providing reference limits of ARF values to be properly used in the engineering design of hydraulic and hydrological infrastructures, and appears particularly suited for effective and reliable flood defense in early warning systems....
An areal rainfall is important basic data in a real time flood warning system. Good areal rainfall calculation means we can forecast flood more accurately and in time. Here, we propose an areal rainfall forecasting methodology integrated fuzzy optimized neural network with Geography Information System...
In addition, AMBER verified flood-producing ABR amounts over very large areas (one exceeding 200 square miles) after warnings were issued.P. Integrating the Areal Mean Basin Estimated Rainfall (AMBER) and the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) into warning operations at NWSFO ...
The satellite data gathering and processing procedures are in constant evolution to solve these shortcomings, as they are particularly relevant regarding estimations in complex terrains, coastlines, high latitudes, and the capturing of precipitation extremes, which is crucial for flood management [5,13]...
