Development of a European flood forecasting system
Abstract
Recent advances in meteorological forecast skill now enable significantly improved estimates of precipitation quantity, timing and spatial distribution to be made up to 10 days ahead for model scales of 40 km in forecast mode. Here we outline a prototype methodology to downscale these precipitation estimates using regional Numerical Weather Prediction models to spatial scales appropriate to hydrological forecasting and then use these to drive high‐resolution scale (1 or 5 km grid scale) water balance and rainfall‐runoff models. The aim is to develop a European Flood Forecasting System (EFFS) and determine what flood forecast skill can be achieved for given basins, meteorological events and prediction products. The output from the system is a probabilistic assessment of n‐day ahead discharge exceedence risk (where n < 10) for the whole of Europe at 5 km resolution which may then be updated as the forecast lead time reduces. At each stage the discharge estimates can be used to drive detailed (25–100 m resolution) hydraulic models to estimate the flood inundation which may potentially occur. Initial results are presented from a prototype version of the system used to perform a hindcast of the January 1995 flooding events in NW‐Europe (Rhine, Meuse).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
