Weather forecast review project for operational open-water river forecasting

Description

The purpose of this project was to develop an understanding of the uncertainties in weather forecasting and propose a method of how the River Forecast Centre can manage those uncertainties when modeling rainfall scenarios and issuing flood advisories. Accurate flood forecasting requires accurate forecasts of rainfall amount, location, timing, and intensity. This project was designed to assess how well these rainfall forecast requirements are currently being met by the current suite of popular numerical weather prediction models, for extreme events in Alberta, and specifically for severe flood situations.
