FORECASTING FLOOD

USING ECMWF/WRF

FORECAST DATA OF

PRECIPITATION

We have used only significant flood records which cause loss of life and economic

losses. Observations of extraordinary weather records related to some other hazards such as hail, avalanche, intensive rainfall have been archived in database servers at the Turkish State Meteorological Service since 1940.

Forecasting Urban Floods

Study on forecasting urban flood risk are in the preliminary phase.

In this study, it is aimed to predeterminate the areas which may

experience floods and to warn sectors to be effected. Threshold values

were computed for each station by using disaster records of 182 TSMS

stations for the period of 1980-2006 and 3-10 days’ precipitation

outputs of the ECMWF forecasting model (matrix of 153x49 grid points)

are used in the model.
