Sensitivity of urban hydrodynamic modelling to high resolution radar rainfall

Polarimetric weather signatures and Doppler spectral analysis of a convective squall line

On the sensitivity of urban hydrodynamic modelling to rainfall spatial and temporal resolution

Cities are increasingly vulnerable to floods generated by intense rainfall, because of their high degree of imperviousness, implementation of infrastructures, and changes in precipitation patterns due to climate change. Accurate information of convective storm characteristics at high spatial and temporal resolution is a crucial input for urban...

Toward the optimal resolution on rainfall estimates to obtain reliable urban hydrological response: X-band polarimetric radar estimates applied to Rotterdam urban drainage system

Weather observations are conventionally performed by single polarization C-band weather radars with a temporal and spatial resolution of 5 min and 1 km, respectively. However, for urbanized areas, these spatial and temporal resolutions may not be sufficient to detect, monitor, and obtain accurate rainfall rate estimates of fastevolving weather...

The use of X-band polarimetric radar to assess the impact of different temporal and spatial resolution on a drainage system in Rotterdam urban area

This study aims to assess the impact of different temporal and spatial rainfall resolutions on the hydrological response of a higly urbanized area. The catchment under study is one of the pilot locations of RainGain Interreg IVB project, which aims at improving fine-scale measurement and prediction of rainfall to enhance urban pluvial flood...
