The QPFs are derived from a stormscale ensemble prediction system, and used within a distributed hydrological model framework to yield basin-specific, probabilistic flash flood forecasts (PFFFs).
In addition, we set up a conceptual tool for assessing saline wetlands degradation that improves upon available methods within geomorphological, sedimentological or hydrological frameworks.
The objective of this research is to improve the understanding and recognition of the management challenges to flash flooding hazards and the potential adaptive measures within the arid urban areas through a socio-hydrological framework.
A daily hydrological modelling framework based on two conceptual model structures and the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) methodology has been applied to 70 catchments across the UK.
The proposed hydrological risk framework offers a promising technical reference for flood risk analysis in sandy regions worldwide.
Software to support its implementation has been included as part of an existing hydrological modelling framework package that includes a GIS interface and database management procedures.
This work advances traditional flood risk analysis by proposing a univariate and copula-based bivariate hydrological risk framework which incorporates both flood control and sediment transport.
We replicated a hydrological modelling framework, including RCM downscaling and bias correction, that used data of 21 ENSEMBLES RCMs under SRES A1B emission scenario (Kling et al., 2012), and now applied CORDEX EUR-11 data of 32 RCM simulations under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 emission scenarios.
We highlight the value of incorporating the modelled estimates into a hydrological model, and discuss the applicability of our modelling framework in terms of cost, computational efficiency and transferability to other mountainous areas, particularly on small island developing states.
The relative climate contribution estimated from the hydrological model is greater than these from the two Budyko framework based methods, and the estimated relative climate contribution from the decomposition method is the smallest in the three methods.
