Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 48968
Session Description:
Floods are recognized as the most common largely distributed hazard to life, property, and the economy, costing billions of dollars every year. This session focuses on ensemble hydro-meteorological forecasting to enhance short-term flood mitigation strategies and long-term flood risk management. Advances may include enhanced understanding of flood processes, improved ensemble analysis and prediction methods, modelling and forecasting techniques. Targeted topics relevant to the session focus include: estimation of flood regimes, ensemble or probabilistic hydro-meteorological forecasting, downscaling of meteorological forecasts as well as forecasts pre- and post-processing , hydrologic modeling in a flood forecasting context, in-situ and remotely sensed data assimilation, uncertainty quantification and forecast verification, assessment of forecasts in terms of economic value, risk analysis of socio-economic and environmental impacts of floods, and applications of short to medium range flood forecasts.
