Session 1A Flood Prediction, Analysis, Decision Support, and Management - I

Monday, 13 January 2020: 8:30 AM-10:00 AM
Host: 34th Conference on Hydrology

CoChair:
Kristie Franz, Iowa State University, Ames, IA

A number of regional and national real-time flood forecasting systems are emerging for a variety of different flood-related applications. These new systems are taking advantage of new national hydrologic data standards, new advances in supercomputing availability and improvements in model parameterizations and meteorological forcing datasets. This session encourages contributions from all sectors of the AMS enterprise (academic, government and the private sector) who have built and deployed such systems. Additionally, contributions are welcome from researchers who have developed novel methodologies to sense and model flood generation dynamics at a variety of time and space scales. Research and application contributions from within the U.S. as well as internationally are also encouraged.

Please note that there is a different session in this conference on heavy precipitation events, flood risk under climate change (see "Heavy Precipitation and Flood Risk under a Changing Climate").
