Project title: “Uncertainty of Radar Rainfall Estimates and Implications for Hydrologic Flood Predictions” |
|
| |
| |
Project Description:
The proposed research is part of a three-year plan to collect and process high-resolution in-situ rainfall measurements to be used for uncertainty analysis of radar rainfall estimates, and to assess the potential value of radar data for hydrologic prediction and modeling. Investigations proposed in this study address two main research themes: (1) Quantification of the errors associated with estimating rainfall from raw radar observations over different temporal and spatial scales and resolutions. (2) Development of a better understanding and characterization of the implications of radar errors for hydrologic flood prediction models.
