BetaBetaDataset
To populate datasets adapting to weather and climate extremes, particularly in the face of climate change.
The flood model is based on the University of Washington Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) land surface model (Liang et al., 1994) coupled with the University of Maryland Dominant River Tracing Routing (DRTR) model (Wu et al., 2013,)
Consists of flood detection/ intensity estimates. Streamflow, surface water storage, inundation variables are also calculated at 1km resolution. The latest maps of instantaneous precipitation and totals from the last day, three days and seven days are also displayed.
Flood detection/intensity estimates are based on 13 years of retrospective model runs with TMPA input, with flood thresholds derived for each grid location using surface water storage statistics.
