Modeling Rainfall Hyetographs from Cloud Droplet Size Distribution: A Similarity-Based Approach for Flood Nowcasting
Abstract
AbstractRainfall hyetographs are essential for hydrologic modeling and flood forecasting,
yet they are unavailable in real time for nowcasting—limiting the effectiveness of
early warning systems. To address this challenge, we present a novel mechanistic ...Practical ApplicationsThe similarity-based approach to flood nowcasting represents a major advancement in
both hydrologic and meteorologic modeling by establishing a direct, physically grounded
link between cloud droplet size distributions and rainfall ...
