Zusammenfassung |
The performance of a hydrologic model depends on the rainfall input data,
both spatially and temporally. As the spatial distribution of rainfall exerts
a great influence on both runoff volumes and peak flows, the use of a
distributed hydrologic model can improve the results in the case of
convective rainfall in a basin where the storm area is smaller than the basin
area. The aim of this study was to perform a sensitivity analysis of the
rainfall time resolution on the results of a distributed hydrologic model in
a flash-flood prone basin. Within such a catchment, floods are produced by
heavy rainfall events with a large convective component. A second objective
of the current paper is the proposal of a methodology that improves the radar
rainfall estimation at a higher spatial and temporal resolution. Composite
radar data from a network of three C-band radars with 6-min temporal and
2 × 2 km2 spatial resolution were used to feed the RIBS
distributed hydrological model. A modification of the Window Probability
Matching Method (gauge-adjustment method) was applied to four cases of heavy
rainfall to improve the observed rainfall sub-estimation by computing new Z/R
relationships for both convective and stratiform reflectivities. An advection
correction technique based on the cross-correlation between two consecutive
images was introduced to obtain several time resolutions from 1 min to
30 min. The RIBS hydrologic model was calibrated using a probabilistic
approach based on a multiobjective methodology for each time resolution. A
sensitivity analysis of rainfall time resolution was conducted to find the
resolution that best represents the hydrological basin behaviour. |
