Quantitative precipitation forecasting (QPF) for surface water flood forecasting
… the uncertainties associated with meteorological forecasting and hydrology is a critical part of any integrated, interactive drainage system. The development of a dynamic surface water management system, based on the concept of Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) and coupled with a real-time …

An observational and modeling study of a heavy orographic precipitation event over the Oregon Cascades
… opportunity for the investigation of a heavy precipitation event over complex terrain. The collection of thermodynamic and kinematic observations concomitantly with microphysical measurements also provided a unique chance to isolate errors in a mesoscale scale model's microphysical …

Using total precipitable water anomaly as a forecast aid for heavy precipitation events
Heavy precipitation events are of interest to weather forecasters, local government officials, and the Department of Defense. These events can cause flooding which endangers lives and property. Military concerns include decreased trafficability for military vehicles, which hinders both war- and …

Analysis, Modeling, and Forecasting Of Urban Flooding
As the world becomes more urbanized and heavy precipitation events increase in frequency and intensity, urban flooding is an emerging concern. Urban flooding is caused when heavy rainfall collects on the landscape, exceeding the capacity of drainage systems to effectively convey runoff. Unlike …

Balancing exploration and exploitation: task-targeted exploration for scientific decision-making
… model selection for subseasonal temperature and precipitation forecasting, achieving state-of-the-art forecasting accuracy. The human scientific endeavor is poised to benefit from our emerging capacity to integrate observational data into the process of model development and validation. Realizing …

Model post-processing for the extremes: improving forecasts of locally extreme rainfall
This study investigates the science of forecasting locally extreme precipitation events over the contiguous United States from a fixed-frequency perspective, as opposed to the traditionally applied fixed-quantity forecasting perspective. Frequencies are expressed in return periods, or recurrence …

Characteristics of trends and relationships among climate variables in Zambia
… the relationship that exists in weather, precipitation and river flow using time series data. The study area was the entire country of Zambia. Secondary hydrological and weather data used was representative of the six catchment areas of the country and the three agro-ecological zones. …

Three-dimensional water vapor retrieval using a network of scanning compact microwave radiometers
Quantitative precipitation forecasting is currently limited by the paucity of observations on sufficiently fine temporal and spatial scales. In particular, convective storms have been observed to develop in regions of strong and rapidly evolving moisture gradients that vary spatially on sub-meso γ …
