Weather radar and flood forecasting
Vince K. Collinge, Celia Kirby
This unique, one-volume survey brings together the most up-to-date information available in this fast-moving field, presenting the current technologies and capabilities of weather radar for rainfall measurement and weather forecasting--emphasizing actual operational experience in the United Kingdom. Describes the developing weather radar networks in the UK and in Western Europe. Discussed at length are the hydrological aspects of flood forecasting. The authors then extend this study to specific problems of real-time flood forecasting, including the use of weather radar data. The presentation concludes with a section which explores the new directions in which weather radar technology is now moving and the ways in which the resulting data may be more effectively used for flood forecasting and other water management practices.
